Halloween

Logan was Elmo this year for Halloween.
It took us several attempts to get him used to wearing this costume but come Halloween he was excited to march around in it. I think it helped keep him warm.


I had an ASCA agility trail on Halloween so we spent the afternoon at the dog trial. Cayman took first place in his Gambler's run! We didn't place in any of the other runs but got in some good training on his teeter and weave poles which was worth it. Thanks to all of you who came to see us. We love having a cheering section.

We invited my parents over to go trick or treating with Logan this year since this would be his first year doing so. He was so excited to have them over. We only went around the block in our neighborhood but Logan still managed to walk with all of us! Logan caught on to all of this very quickly and would start to say "trick or treat" at the door. He was often scared when you rang the doorbell and waited for someone to come to the door. He would try to bail but then when he saw that the person wasn't scary he would wait for candy and then say 'thank you.' Such a polite boy!
Logan's favorite candy by far was the suckers. He was so excited when he got his first one and that was the first thing he went for when we got home.
Even Emma was trying to get in on the candy action. Good thing we were watching out for her. We were watching her this weekend so she got to be included in our Halloween festivities.
After trick or treating we came home and watched 'Its a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown." Logan has become very attached to Charlie Brown and loves all the sounds that Snoopy makes. I think this picture sums up how tired everyone was at the end of the evening!

Ellis Family Halloween Party

The Ellis Family throws an annual Halloween party each year that I always look forward to. I love that they go all out to celebrate this holiday.

Here is a picture of our cute family at the party. Ben was a surfer and I was a veterinarian.
And here is a cute picture of all the grandkids. Logan didn't want to stand with them so that is why I am sitting on the couch next to him trying to hide. We had mummy pizza's for dinner (thanks megan for the idea) along with some bone breadsticks a cemetary jello salad and lots of other yummy food. We played several games including a mummy warp. We thought Logan would enjoy this game, which he did, but I actually think the big kids enjoyed it more. We also had a pumpkin walk and decorated sugar cookies. This is Logan decorating his cookie. He doesn't look too excited does he? Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things about Halloween.

It was so fun to have a kid this year at the party. I think holidays are a lot more fun when you have a kid!
