I Know These are late but...

Here are the Halloween pictures taken over a week ago.
WE had a great night. It went something like this:
Started out at the Church building so Kevin could practice leading worship. I got the kids ready while we were there. We went to our good friend's, the Smiths, house for chili--yum. Then we went to Granny and Papa Chisms house for trick or treating. It was great. Aaron the Knight, of course, ran to every house in great expectation! I think there might have been some fighting at a couple doors on who rang the door bell first. But no battle wounds, thank goodness. Lexi looked beautiful in her fairy costume that her talented Granny made for her! She just flitted around just like a fairy, sweet and soft footed. Unfortunately for us and the sweet trick or treat givers, she must have nibbled too much on a bad flower. She left her pixie-dust scent at each door. Needless to say, mom let dad go to the doors with the kids! Eli caught on rather quickly in his little throne. He was quite tired from all the football carrying (that and we couldn't keep his pants on) so he nested in the stroller and yelled, politely of course, "HAVE SOME!!" over and over at every door! We replaced his candy with 100% all organic lolli-pops later that evening, of course! Yes, he will live a long and healthy life for sure.
Anyway, that is the night in a nut shell! Enjoy the pics.























Oh, and this is "Granny Pumpkin." Alexis wanted me to make a face like Grannys on her pumpkin. She painted it herself. What do you think? Any resemblance?


Yeah, I know. Granny is much prettier and not quite as crosseyed!

Love the photos of these precious children. We really enjoyed the trick or treating part of the night. The kids bring such joy and laughter! I loved the Granny pumpkin---may use it as my profile picture on facebook.

Love,
Granny Franny
