Happy "Stinkin'" Halloween!

Here are our two stinking cute skunks for Halloween! We had such a fun day from start to finish!


Grandma and Grandpa Sorenson joined us for trick-or-treating and we are so glad they did. Below Grandpa Craig and Aniston were going through the goods. Honestly, we thought Aniston would be done with trick-or-treating in about twenty minutes, but we were out for at least double that. It really was so fun to watch Aniston enjoying this crazy holiday.


Aunt Dani, aka Little Red Riding Hood, joined us for the festivities. Grandma Annie, Grandpa Clair, Aunt Kylee, and little cousin Jade stopped in to join in in the festivities. Jade is only two weeks older than Tylar, but she is rolling over...all over the place, sitting up, feeding herself, and I think we even saw her finishing up her parent's taxes for the year. Seriously, she is a super advanced/super smiley baby.
Below is our littlest skunk.

Tylar joined us for the entire trick-or-treating adventure and did awesome. She wore her hat the whole time and didn't make a peep. Like her sister, she too enjoyed being outside, going from house to house.

One Skunk, Two Skunk
Although I was very tempted to reuse Aniston's costumes from previous years, I decided to bite the bullet and make these little skunk costumes for the girls. Our little skunks looked so dang cute! Aniston was so excited that Tylar was going to be a "stunk, just like me!"
"Pee-yew" Stinky skunk!






One of our Halloween traditions is our Halloween dinner party....chili, cornbread, apple crisp, and of course, witches brew! The witches brew is for Austin more than anyone...he loves it! I always seem to be running around from store to store trying to find dry ice, but know it is well worth it to see the joy the witches brew brings to Austin.

The Halloween Fairy, aka Grandma and Grandpa Sorenson, brought some fun Halloween surprises for Aniston and Tylar...Animal crackers, a Dora phone, and Dora stickers. When Alli was here to visit she had a Dora phone and I believe the Halloween Fairy took note of Aniston's love for the beloved Dora Phone.
Aniston and Grandpa Craig lit our Jack-o-lantern with the help of the Dora phone.
