All of our Fun HALLOWEEN Adventures

So if you were to discuss this whole Halloween thing with John he'd say" here in Anoka Halloween last for a month!" And yes in some ways it does. With Anoka being the Halloween capital of the WORLD there are so many traditions and many, many activities to attend. So we had our fair share. We trick-or-treated around Walmart, Cub etc. with Bella and some of her friends. We went to the Mall of America and did some fun Halloween stuff, we went trunk-or-treating twice. Once with Matt and Michelle and the other with Grandma and Grandpa, Bella loved that. Her Grandpa even made her a special Pumpkin cake. Which was neat for her especially since Parker and her were pumpkins. We had our party here and the parades. We also did our annual trick-or-treat night out with our family. So to say the least we are tired and Bella has more candy than she knows what to do with. She was a little confused at the doors but she sure liked saying "thanks, and BYE" it was really sweet. We had a great holiday though spending it with many friends and family. We hope you all had a great Halloween!

Silly girls

Tonight Bella had 3 of her friends over for a sleep over. Kathryn and Emma were over because their mom was having a BABY tonight and Mikayla was here to join in the fun! The were jumping on the bed and then decided to be silly and make fun faces! To cute.

Today we had a blast! We had a huge Halloween party at our house and we had over 70 people here. But it really didn't seem that way. We had set up 8 different games in our back yard so the kids ran around and played the bean bag toss, cup cake walk, go fish.etc. They got prizes and candy! Then we went up front and ate great food!! Thanks to everyone for pitching in!! And the the kids hit the pinata and swarmed over the candy it was fun! After that we headed off to the night time parade. Bella and the others danced forever. WE HAD A BREAT NIGHT!!! THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO MADE IT A GREAT DAY!

Our trip to CA

The kids and I went out to CA for a few days. John stayed back due to time off and he's starting a new job next week. While we were out there Jade got blessed! (Sara and Tommy's little one) and we gave Cheryl a surprise baby shower. Bella loved playing with her Aunts, Uncle's and especially cousins. She walks around daily asking for Erin's youngest, Abbie. All we hear is "where's Abbie"? all day long. It's really cute.
