While shopping for Madelynn's birthday party, we were fortunate enough to pick up her Halloween costume. For the previous two years she has gone as some kind of incarnation of fairy, and this year was no different. She chose the Spider Fairy costume.
Of course because it is Utah, and cold alterations had to be made for the nugget and she didn't look quite like the girl in the stock photo, but if you ask me she is cuter. We did a ballet bun, added some warm pink capris and a pink long john shirt. Madelynn only weights 32 pounds and chills very easily. Unfortunately the tiara was really flimsy and didn't make the trip from Salt Lake City to American Fork...again I still think she pulled it off and was once again a super cute fairy.
Dad and Angie dressed as Coke products. I dressed in scrubs, and Jeremy wore his zombie shirt from last year. Mom and John didn't dress up, but they went to an allegedly cool, new park called Evermore. The photos they took were Halloweeny and I thought it fit with the collage.
Since we live on a fairly busy street that doesn't have a lot of homes to trick or treat on we decided to travel down to Dad and Angie's. Of course, it was Madelynn's idea to call Grandpa Dave (as she affectionately calls him) to see if he will go with her. She had asked for Uncle Darren to come around with her, but he had to work. She was excited to see her uncle once he did get off work, and stopped by Dad's house for a quick visit.
Madelynn made a haul with the candy. It helped that we didn't get a start until 7:30 or so and everyone was winding down. About half way through the walking she claimed her little legs couldn't possibly carry her any further. I didn't get any photos of Madelynn being carried by a giant coke bottle, but here are some cute shots of her knocking.
Unfortunately for us, but fortunately for the Gibson clan; Elyssa, Matthew and Bella celebrated Halloween in Texas. I couldn't let a Halloween blog go without photos of my beloved niece and nephew. I'm sure they had an amazing time with their grandparents and uncles. They don't get to see them very often, and it was great that they were able to experience Halloween with them all. Ms. Bella was Super Girl, and Matthew was Darth Vader.
