Alyssa and Baby EvaThursday night the 30th of October we had our church Trunk or Treat in the parking lot. I had lots of visitors in town, and they set up chairs and passed out the candy for me and allowed me to walk around with my kids. L to R: my Grandpa Ball, Aunt Bonnie, Unclea "mean" Dean, my Grandma Hill, my Grandma Ball, my dad.
Alyssa and Jacob held hands a lot of the night, traveling from car to car. Alyssa is super girl...with a big pink fluffy petticoat underneath.
Playing the piano for my grandma to hear.
On Halloween day, we sent the boys to school and I took my grandparents, aunt and uncle on a driving tour of Austin. We hit 3 different lakes: Austin, Travis, and Town Lake. They saw the hill country and were shocked that my flat suburban life is so close to the country. This is a 4 generation shot of my dad, his mom, Venece, and Alyssa. We ate lunch at Hula Hut on Lake Austin.
That night, Michael's brother rolled into town with their 4 boys. His parents also flew in from California. We ate Rudy's BBQ on the borrowed picnic tables. We had quite a crew.
Trick or Treaters ready to go! Cousins make it more fun.
Tyler and Matthew and their cousins their same age.
Brewing the homemade root bear (I had to call all over town for the dry ice)
And off they went.
This was going to be a cool shot, but my pocket camera didn't open it's doors all the way.
Our wonderful neighbors: Brad, Clair, and Violet (she borrowed our giraffe costume and decid what her parents would dress as--Clair is a cat).
Examining the stash. I got to go out with my kids and Michael, while my dad passed out candy at home with the great grandparents.
notice Alyssa's 2 suckers.
Matthew trying to protect his candy from his baby cousin.
Michael's mom, sis in law, and brother David
I was impressed Alyssa walked so much (although she did ask several times to be held) At the end, Michael scooped her up.
In case you are wondering if everyone traveled into town for Halloween, it was the day after that they came for...Tyler's Baptism. Coming up.....
