Happy Halloween

Dan and I with our favorite "treats" Lainey the ladybug and Aubrey the bumblebee!


The girls enjoyed their 1st (VERY busy) Halloween! They attended TWO birthday parties, plus visiting family and friends trick or treating, we covered 4 counties between Friday and Saturday just so everyone would get a visit from these precious "treats"!! The girls really racked up on all their treats. I will admit by the time we finally got home at 11PM Halloween night, we were VERY TIRED! lol It was a fun filled day for us all!
On Friday, the girls visited Aunt Amanda and the girls at the bank, then we went to Millport and surprised Aunt Sheila at work, then went to Granny Prater's and visited with her and G-diddy. Granny and G-diddy both got a kick out of the girls' costumes. It was good seeing both of them. Aubrey and Lainey both just sat in Granny's lap and were just soo happy, she has that special touch, but when you have a combined total of 22 grandkids and great grandkids plus another one one the way, you probably have lots of practice!




On saturday, we started the festivities by attending Tucker's 1st Birthday party, which was a costume party. There were all kinds of cute costumes there. After Tucker's party, the girls, Moma D and I went to Winfield to the next birthday party. We helped Ally Tidwell celebrate her 1st Birthday as well.



We then went to see Mrs. Anita( my second mom, one of my best friends, Martha's mom, I really wish Martha would of been there!) and Ms. Ruth. We had sooo much fun with these two ladies. They had the girls laughing the entire time ( we were in such a hurry I didnt get a picture, but Ms. Ruth did and that is what counts! :) )



Next stop, Maw Maw's house. She was sooo glad to see the girls. I think seeing the girls always makes her feel better. She is still recovering from her ankle surgery, but slowly continues to get better everyday so please continue to pray for her.



Then we came home for maybe 20 minutes, Hudson and Danni Kate came to trick or treat at our house. Of course Hudson is always ready to go go go and Danni Kate enjoys playing in the leaves in our yard right now ( and if anyone wants to spare your free time and come rake them up I am sure Dan would be very grateful!)



Then across the highway we went to Nana's House.



Next stop, Moma D's Cabin. Eli was more excited than anyone I believe, he enjoys Halloween too! We attempted to get a picture with Eli in it as well but he was so overjoyed with excitement he wouldn't sit still long enough!

Then it was off to Flatwoods to see Popa Holley, he even got in the spirit and had his Halloween mask on, he is sooo funny!

Finally we made it to Tuscaloosa, to Aunt Nita and Uncle Wayne's house. Uncle Wayne treated us to steaks as our Halloween treat and they were YUMMY!!!

















(we are practicing letting the girls sit by Uncle Wayne so when Christmas gets here they wont be scared of Santa! lol)




















Overall, it was a very fun and busy day, the girls are probably wondering what all the fuss was about, I guess Dan and I got more from it than them, but that's ok in another year it will be much more exciting!



We would like to mention that we missed Popa Jim and wish he could of been here as well, but we will see him in a few weeks! We love and miss you! :)
