Halloween 2015 was a big success! Aubrey's dreams came true when she got to dress up as Tinker Bell! "Tink!!" The Tinker Bell movies have been her favorites for months now. She says "Watch TINK" like 20,000 times a day!
We went to our ward Trunk-or-Treat the night before Halloween!
I had fun making the costume and she was a pretty good model of it, if I do say so myself!
I dressed up as Wendy.
And Brad was Peter Pan! I decorated the car with stars so it looked like we were all flying off to Neverland! We had a blast!
A couple of Aubrey's friends were fairies too!
We had a chili and cornbread dinner. After we ate, we played carnival games!
A couple of our favorite missionaries dressed up as well!
Elder Culpepper and Elder Burke!
Aubrey was obsessed with this ghost! Especially when it lit up!
Aubrey got more candy than we knew what to do with! It is now 4 months later and I think we still have a few pieces left! We had a wonderful night!
On October 31, we went to the temple for a youth temple trip. Brad is now the Young Mens president in our ward, so he got to take some of the young men down to the LA temple. Aubrey and I decided to go for the day as well but we walked around the visitors center while they were in the temple.
We watched Meet the Mormons. It is a great movie and it is also on Netflix if you want to watch it. I highly recommend it!
We then went to the Christ statue! Aubrey loved it!
She kept saying Jesus, "Jese" It is so sweet to see the spirit in her eyes.
There is a special spirit there. I just feel my Saviors Love, and I know he is near.
Aubrey loves water! Probably more than she loves me.... lol just kidding! But she wanted to check out the fountains in front of the temple.
She was being so reverent by folding her arms.
And then would clap out of excitement!
We walked around the temple and touched the doors. I hope she is excited to go inside someday!
One of my favorite quotes about going to the temple is when Thomas S. Monson said, "Remember that this day you touched the temple. One day you will go inside!" I hope I can always teach Aubrey the importance of temples and I hope she will realize how much it will bless her life! This is one of my favorite pictures of her!
We had a great time!
Later that night we got our costumes on again and went to a few neighbors houses for trick-or-treating. We had a fun time! It is nice having Halloween in California because you don't have to wear a coat! You don't have to worry about covering your costume up! lol
I have to share these cute pictures of our nieces and nephews too in their costumes!
Shae was Minnie Mouse and Annie was Fancy Nancy.
Grant was a Navy Seal
Quinn was Princess Sofia and Layton was a mermaid.
Nolan was a Cowboy
Zoey was a Horsey Girl
Brexton was a Jedi, Maci was Ariel, and Brian was a Spider!
So Fun! I love Halloween! It is even more fun with kids, because we get to be kids again too!
