Halloween Festivities

The Fall season is a busy time for our family because of a mutual love for college football along with great weather and fun times with friends and family. This year is definitely no different! After five different Fall/Halloween parties and events, we were ready to hang the Halloween hat up until next year.

The festivities started on Thursday with Kaelyn's Preschool Pals Fall party. It was so much fun for me and Robbie to attend the party with her and see her in action at her school with her friends. She comes home each Tuesday and Thursday after learning something new and we love it! She's really cute when you quiz her about anything she's learned. She gets very excited and shy!

She walked right in and sat down at the table ready for the day.

Friday afternoon, Robbie's company hosted a festival and trick or treating for all the kids. We got dressed in our costumes to attend. It was a lot of fun to meet Daddy's co-workers and participate in the costume parade.

A cute little backdrop for pictures...however,
this was the best we could get. Rylan is really busy and
was interested in the hay.

After the BH party, we had about an hour before heading out to the Stonebriar Fall Festival (put on by the church and Kaelyn's school). It turned out to be a chilly evening, but thankfully there were games inside and out. The festival was much larger than we expected, but a lot of fun.

On Sunday evening, our church small group particpated with the other Frisco small groups in a Trunk or Treat. It was a lot of fun to hang out with everyone and see all the kids' costumes. Our little Alabama cheerleader and Aggie football player enjoyed the festivities and playing at the park.

Finally, our Halloween festivities ended with a little trick or treating in the neighborhood on Monday evening with some friends. We didn't stay at it long, but it was amazing to see the difference in how much Kaelyn has grown in the past year. She had no issues saying "Trick or Treat" and waiting patiently or often picking out her piece of candy. Unfortunately, Daddy convinced her to get all skittles. Mommy should have taught her to look for the chocolate. Oh well. Better luck next year.
