Halloween 2009

Tuckered out after a long night of trick or treating!
Trick or Treating with Daddy

Sneaking some candy.

Our little Lady Bug

Visiting Great Grandma Paces

What a perfect day/night for trick or treating! On Friday we dressed Lily up in her costume and took her to see her Great Grandma Paces. Grandma was so excited to see her! We visited for a while and then headed up North to Newcastle to visit Grandma and Grandpa on the farm. Saturday morning was opening day for pheasant hunting so of course Jason couldn't miss it! Lily had a nice time playing with Grandma and Grandpa, her Uncles Matt and Lonnie and her cousins Nathan and Evan. Lily loved playing outside on the farm! She got to help pick apples, chase the cats, and play with the cows...what a day! We made it back to Omaha around 4pm...just in time to get all dressed up again to go trick or treating with Lily's cousin Bubba (Jahrran). Ma and Pa Mike, Uncle Justin, Bubba, Brian, Aunt Kylie, Mommy and Daddy all went trick or treating with Little Lily the Lady Bug! She filled her Elmo bucket with all sorts of candy. I think more than anything she was just happy to be outside running around. After hitting up a few streets in the neighborhood we headed up to church for the Fall Festival. This was AMAZING! The church was all decorated and was full of games, prizes, food and candy! Lily had a blast! I got a little taste of what lies ahead on Saturday night. Lily was so wild and ornery I almost lost my mind...no joke! At the church we'd put her down and off she went. She was running around, going up to total strangers, taking other kids balloons, climbing up the slide all by herself..etc. She wanted to run free and she would not let us hold her for anything! She usually always looks back to make sure mom or dad are nearby, but she didn't care on Halloween! She just wanted to go, go, go! I think it was because there were so many people and kids around. Anyway...we all had a great time. We spent all day today getting packed up and ready for our trip to Sacramento, CA tomorrow. We are flying out in the morning and staying until Saturday. We are going to visit Jason's brother and our sister-in-law and new nephew....Brayden Ray Kneifl. Please pray for us and wish us luck as we will be traveling with a very ORNERY 13 month old!
