Halloween

Halloween this year was a ton of fun because it is the first year that Tori really understood what was going on. She loved wearing her "Trick or Treat" shirt as much as she could during October. And she was very excited to be a chicken this year.

Here she is holding the dancing and music playing chicken that Great Grandma gave her when she found out what she was going to be for Halloween.

This is Tori and friends at a Halloween party at the hospital for resident families. From left to right: Anna, Tori, Kennedy, Andrew, Anne, Megan, Ethan, Claire and Luke is the lobster lying in front.

Tori also had a lot of fun carving a pumpkin for the first time. It took a little convincing to get her to put her hand in the pumpkin and grab the seeds, but once she was brave enough to do it she didn't want to stop. She also insisted that we color with crayons on our pumpkins.

Everytime she sees the pumpkins now she tells me how "Tori made a scary pumpkin and daddy made a happy pumpkin."
