Halloween 2011

   Trying to catch up on posts is not one of the easiest things to do.  I have been so slow with uploading pictures from my phone and camera that it is so not funny.  But these were just too sweet and I'm taking a note from a friend's book and going to turn these posts into a yearly family journal.  It'll be nice and pretty if I put the pictures in it. :-/ 

This year was so exciting for Cade and I.  It was our first holidays as parents and we (mostly I) did what probably 95% of first-time parents do and take their kids to all sorts of holiday events that they will have no idea about.  Oh well.  Its the thought that counts.  Halloween was super fun.  In typical Blythe fashion, it was still a warm 90 degrees during the day.  Poor Savannah was sweating by the time we left the pumpkin patch at the high school.  But we had gotten her an outfit and her Mimi and Poppa had given her two so we were going to wear them.  She was such a good trooper.

 I learned a valuable lesson this year in regards to carving pumpkins.  Especially living in a warmer climate, it is best to wait until the last possible second to carve because otherwise your pumpkins will wilt and look as if they imploded on themselves.  I didn't get pictures of that, but it was pretty gross.

  A couple of our dear friends had a fun Halloween party that Cade and I were able to attend together.  Cade even dressed up. :-) Big points in my book! It was so much fun and the food was so yummy!!!

   We even took Savannah trick-or-treating this year.  We went to our ward's truck-or-treat as well.  It was so much fun.  The primary put so much work into it and it was amazing.  Everyone had a great time.  It was fun to see all the costumes that everyone had thought of.  I'm excited for next year when Savannah has a little bit more of an idea of what c-a-n-d-y is.  Because then mommy gets to eat it.
