Our First Halloween

We took a little trip to New Mexico over Halloween weekend to visit one of my best friends, Natalie & Ottis Goodluck. I woke up very sick the morning that we had planned to leave, but we decided that since I was not contagious, we would make the trip anyway. We were so glad we did, because we had so much fun! Most of our Halloween festivities actually happened on Friday night, October 30th. We helped Natalie and her kids get ready to go to a trunk-or-treat, which was so much fun!

Natalie's oldest little girl, Kylie, was a witch, and I got to help her out with her green face paint. She was a little champ to sit still and keep her eyes closed for so long while I covered her entire face with the slimy stuff.

Nat found most of her costume on amazon, including her little broom. I can't wait to have kids and dress them up for Halloween!

Bree was an adorable little Lion, and I'm sure most moms love these kind of costumes since they also keep the little tykes warm during all the festivities.

Jenna was a frog, and was darling as she hopped around the house sticking her tongue out and enthusiastically shouting "Rrriibbett!!"

Since I was having a particularly bad bout with severe fatigue, we opted to stay home during the festivities. While the fam was out trick-or-treating, Bryan filled up our air mattress, (a wedding gift!) so that I could rest. We were supposed to put in a scary movie, but since neither one of us likes scary movies, we ended up watching 10,000 BC while we were waiting for them to get home.

Once Ottis and Natalie got back, we put in "The Sixth Sense" a classic thriller, and enjoyed popcorn and an amazingly yummy pumpkin cake with apple cider sauce that Natalie had made. It was so fun to visit friends and to be able to spend our first Halloween with them. Thanks for having us, Goodlucks!! We love you and hope to be able to do it again sometime soon!!
