Pumpkin Carving and Halloween

The week of Halloween was so packed with things to do. I did get it all done though. Thursday night we headed to Derek and Jen's for the annual Pumpkin carving party that they do each year. We all carved our pumpkins, ate treats, and watched a scary movie. Thanks guys!! We love coming. Then on Saturday night our ward held their Halloween party. It started with a Chili cook off and then the "Trunk or Treat" for the kids. But due to the rain, it was held in the church. We sat in the hall on a chair and the kids walked around. Eric took Avery and she LOVED it! Eric said she got the concept fast. We dressed up as Snow White, the wicked witch, and the poison apple. It was fun even though it was rainy. Then at home, Avery loved handing out candy and even some kisses to the Trick or Treaters. It will continue to get better each year and I can't wait.

Catch UP!!

I need to play catch up with this blog and stay on the ball! A lot has been happening in the life of us Elggrens. We finally got our yard done for the year and it was a lot of work. Thank you so so much to my WONDERFUL Parents who helped us! We love you dearly. Baby #2 is almost here and we can't wait to get little Remi here. Avery needs a sister to play with. Eric is into his MBA program and working full time still. I am still working and will continue to work after the baby. Avery is just FULL of LIFE in every way possible. We are seeing the "terrible two" side of her now and that I can do without. Grandma Elggren came to visit for a few days and we went to Cornbelly's and let Avery enjoy it. We had a fun night of making Halloween Sugar Cookies and Avery loved to put the whole bottle of sprinkles on one cookie.Avery and her Dad are really good buddies. She loves him and boy does he love her. Here are a few pictures of some of the events listed above. And from now on I will be better at making posts. PROMISE!!
