Halloween!!

I know, I am late on posting pictures from Halloween but work has just boomed and we have a lot of late nights doing estimates and home measures.

Rylee was a monkey again for Halloween, I loved the costume since it was so warm and didn't worry about her being too cold. Halloween was such a busy day, my mom and I headed with Rylee to Bill's work to visit him. Rylee loved seeing her daddy and seeing Aunt Shelby in her office.

We had some lunch with Bill and then headed to Grandma and Grandpa Fritz' house to show off our little Monkey! Rylee got a great trick or trick bag from grandma and grandpa, complete with a pink mirror since she loves Nana's mirror so much. Now we don't have to worry about her breaking Nana's mirror anymore, and of course there is still plenty of kissing the mirror. She just loves this and carries it around the house and tries to get Duke to kiss it too.

We then took our tired little one home, Rylee got a much deserved nap. When daddy got home we headed to my mom's house to Trick or Treat to Nana, and some of the neighbors who I used to go to when I was younger. We couldn't stay long since our street gets many Trick or Treaters for Halloween. Rylee got loves from Nana and even got in a wheelchair ride before we had to go.

My sister and her family headed to our house and we then went to the end of our street where one of our neighbors creates this amazing 'Haunted Trail' over a stream and bridge on his property. He has Halloween lights, skeletons, spooky creatures, and the fog even rolled in for added affect!

This year the house next to him decided to create a 'Haunted House' and had a great set-up in their front lawn. It was so great! My sister has three boys, the youngest is only 8 weeks older than Rylee, so the older 2 got to enjoy two decorated houses. The neighbors really go all out, they spend thousands of dollars a year to create this for the kids and cars from all over come just to see it. There was a cool entrance to the front door, then a separate section on the side of the house that came back around the the front, this had more 'scary' things.

We actually had kids coming to the door until 10pm, and had about 30 kids all together come to the door. I love seeing all the costumes and also meeting new neighbors. We were all so pooped after such a long day, and we had one tired little monkey by then end of the night.

It was such a great Halloween, I looked back at last years pictures and think about how far we have come. I am so proud of my little girl, she just loves life and truly seeing things from her eyes are the best view you can have. Here is Rylee from last year, she was just about 1 1/2 months old at the time.
