Addyson was such a pro at trick or treating. We went with our cousins and they taught her what to do. This little kitty would knock on the door and say "hello" then when they opened the door she would say "trick treat" and do a little shoulder shimmy then walk up and choose a candy from the bowl and put it in her treat bag. I'm afraid she now thinks she gets candy every time we knock on a door. When we got home we dumped her bag out to look through her candy, her eyes got big and she squealed with excitement. All that hard work paid off. It was a fun halloween, we look forward to more fun costumes and lots more trick or treating.

Trick Treat
Pumpkin Carving
We went to Grammys for our annual pumpkin carving. Costumes were optional, so all those who dressed up had a picture together. We all had crazy pumpkin carving skills so they turned out great.
While some of use were carving pumpkins Addyson was in the other room entertaining everyone. Grammy had a book about monkeys and it had a button that would make a monkey noise and every time Addy pushed the button she would get a look of absolute surprise.
Pumpkin Walk
We were crazy but we braved the storm and went to the pumpkin walk. It was chilly but barely anyone there so it was a good night to go. We had fun in spite of the early snow storm.

Don't you wish
We went to dinner while the men were hunting and we got the molten chocolate cake from chili's. Do you ever wish you could lick the plate without looking like the biggest porker. I think Addy succeeded because it was adorable.
Wheeler Farm
We had so much fun at Wheeler Farm despite the sudden rain and hail storms. We saw lots of animals, went on a wagon ride, through a hay/corn maze and picked our pumpkins for carving. Our favorite animals were the baby piggies they were the cutest little things ever. We really wished we could have held them but the Mom was gigantic, sure didn't want to mess with her.

Be as a chid...full of love
There is a beautiful little girl in my ward who was diagnosed with cancer. Her and her family have been battling it together and so many people have rallied together to help. Here is just another example. I found this on my sister-in-laws blog there is a generous man who will donate $2 for every person who posts Taylie's link www.tayliebug.com on their blog, face book or twitter accounts. Get all the details here http://www.adashofseason.blogspot.com/ and at the end of the weekend they will see how many people spread the word and how much money we all helped make for the Abbott's. I love that there are people at there with such big hearts willing to help a family in need. I cannot imagine what it would be like to watch my little girl battle cancer. It brings tears to my eyes to think about it. If you desire to help this family take a minute and post it.
