This Halloween was fun and busy! Karli was only a week old, but when you have older kids, you don't get off the hook with much! Our house was sporting a rockstar, a black cat, a fairy princess, and a basketball player. Oh, and a cute little one week old that had an adorable halloween outfit that her Aunt Brittany gave her. How she knew we were having a girl, I don't know, but it was a good guess, and very lucky that she sent a girl outfit with my mom!
I love this sweet chubby girl! I'm a fan of squishy big babies, and when they're wearing adorable outfits, I just can't resist them!
JJ was a little traumatized by halloween this year, all those spooky things did a number on this boy. He's constantly talking about Kaileys witch. Our friends have a life-size witch in their house, and he's slightly terrified of it. I think he really worries about the girls in the house!
He made one super duper cute basketball player too!
Our little fairy princess was very patient as I drew all over her face. I'm a fan of all the makeup at halloween, and I tend to go all out with the girls costumes. What can I say, it's like playing with dolls and who doesn't love that?:)
Especially when you have really beautiful dolls!
Peyton did not love her hair, she thought people would make fun of her. Luckily she was very wrong, and got tons of compliments on her rockstar hair!
She really loved her costume though, and has worn it to school as a regular outfit since halloween!
Halli went back to her favorite of a cat for halloween this year. In remembrance of our lost black cat, Cheetah. They still miss her!
Such a mature kitty!
Grandma Shauna was still in town, and had to pose with the newest addition. I'm glad she was here, she's better at the artistic makeup than I am. Not only that, but when you have five kids to get dressed up and decked out, the extra hands are a huge help!!
The whole clan, super excited to go get themselves some candy!!
We also went to our ward trunk-or-treat. My mom stayed home with Karli and I braved the chaos cause I didn't want to miss this fun event with the kids. They were all running around like crazy though and could have cared less that I was there. But the Young Men and Young Women were in charge, so it was good i went to keep an eye on JJ, Kevin was too busy and would have lost him for sure!
Lexie had a blast hanging out with all the other princess there, especially her bestie, Izzy.
Being a true punk rocker!
Full of Gitter, and smiles!
He may look sad here, but he was probably just taking a break. This kid was everywhere!!
On halloween day, the kids all dressed up in their spooky outfits. I love getting them dressed up...I'll be sad when they don't want to anymore! luckily for now they still love it too!
After we got the big girls to school, we took Lexie to preschool and waited around with some friends to watch the kids in their costume parade. JJ and Chloe had a blast playing in the rocks, and running around!
I love this girl that is so full of life, and always so happy and energetic! She makes everything more fun!
I mean, look at that huge smile! How could that not just make your day?
That night Halli took off with some friends to trick or treat. Our first holiday spent apart.:( but she loved being able to run around with some older kids and collect as much candy as possible! It had to happen sometime, right? We took the other kids, even Karli and we all lasted about an hour before everyone was done and ready to go home. But before we could call it a night, we had to stop by Kaileys house and check out all their awesome Halloween decor. JJ didn't necessarily love all the spooky stuff, but he sure does love the Nordgran family, so it was a great ending to our Halloween! Luckily Kevin works with the Young Men and they were happy to take most of the candy we collected off our hands!
