Halloween

We had a blast with Halloween this year. The fun started early in the month of October with a visit to Cornbelly's. Tessa had a blast with it.

Here she is trying on a princess costume for the first time ever. She loved it. She kept looking at herself in the mirror and smiling.

And here we are as a whole family rocking on the Cornbelly Rocks! rocking chair.

Tessa had a ball with the bounce house!

Tessa played on the play ground equipment for a couple of hours. There was this truck, a pirate ship and more. Then there was this giant hay stack with slides coming off it.

Jenny didn't seem to mind this rocking horse too much.

Here Tessa is picking out her pumpkin.

She liked the tiniest ones.

We have these face painting paint markers that Tessa loves that made it really easy for Tessa to paint her pumpkin on her own.

Tessa loved painting her tiny pumpkin so much that I let her paint our butternut squash we were going to be eating for dinner.

Here is Tessa and her cousin dressed as Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Thanks Heather for Tessa's costume!

Jenny is dressed as a pumpkin.

And here are both girls in their Halloween costumes. We had a lot of fun trick-or-treating this year. We didn't hit tons of houses but we still had a good time. Tessa wanted to eat each piece of candy as soon as she got it. I let her for a while until she started complaining that her stomach was hurting. Luckily right when that happened, we stopped at this house that was giving out little dixie cups of soup and mini-breadsticks so that was fun. It's been fun getting more into the holidays now that Tessa is getting older.
