Halloween 2008

Happy Halloween family and friends. What a fabulous day today was! This was Aidan's very first halloween and boy, did he like it. We started out the day by doing some errands for my new job. It took a lot longer than we expected. Then we headed to the Bennett house to see Maren and Ethan. Ethan was taking a nap, but Maren showed off her beautiful Snow White costume. Aidan played with Dustin and Maren and Kellie for a bit then we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Arnold's house. Quick visit just long enough to get some candy, yum! Then we went to Aunt Suzie's house for more candy. We took a minute to play in the leaves and giggle. Then we came back home to eat dinner with Brian. Yummy chili! Aidan took some chili from my spoon and guess what.... he loved it. He seemed to be fine with it so to help keep tradition going, I gave him some more. Tradition. The Armga tradition. The cherished Armga tradition, the one that NO ONE dare mess with, especially my chili!

Then we regrouped and went over to the Lincoln's house. Before we got into the house we saw Aidan's friends Addi Grace and Seth. He giggled a minute with them. They were so cute. We visited for a bit with everyone. Aidan loves to go over and play with them. He gets so much love and attention, who wouldn't love it?

Then we went and visited with Grandpa Jeff and Aunt Ann and Rain. Fun time there. Aidan played a little bit with Toby. Then we visited with Great Grandma Wilson. She is too cute and we love her. Aidan loved playing with her television set, it sets on the floor. Aidan went right up to it and was talking and hitting the people on television.

Then we decided to go and visit Grandma Pat at work. She works at Lagoon during the season. Aidan had a lot of fun visiting with her and looking at all the lights of the park. And Lagoon has some pretty silly looking people there, especially during Frightmares. But he had lots of fun. Then Aidan let us know that his night was quickly winding to an end. So we decided to head home and go to bed. We hope everyone else had a fun Halloween. We loved it!

I realize that he is still little and will not remember much about tonight, but the Larson's have traditions, both new and old. So here are some pictures of our Halloween.

Pumpkins that we painted. The top one is Aidan.
The bottom left is Brian and then mine.
When Aidan gets bigger we will carve instead.
I have no talent in painting.
And yes Aidan did help with his pumpkin.

A bowl of my yummy chili.
This year I made it mild compared
last years, but then again I was also pregnant
and EVERYTHING was spicy.

Aidan fresh out of the bath tub,
ready to get this party started!

In his costume/outfit. He was a sheriff.
He had the boots and the badge.

His first trick or treat experience with his
favorite Aunt Kellie.
She had lots of yummy treats.

Aidan with Uncle Dustin. Check out the hat.
It didn't last long.

Yummy sucker. I think it would taste better
with out the wrapper, but what do I know.
Eating food. Yummy!
Grandma Pat had to work at Lagoon.
So we went to visit her.
Aidan is under the hood of his coat.

Watching all the silly people dressed
up at Lagoon and getting tired.

We also want to let everyone know that we are sorry if we didn't get to see you today. Hopefully we can see you soon.

We were really planning on going and visiting with everyone at the Burns' house. But Aidan decided that he had had enough and wanted to go to bed. I hope the party was fun, it was at Debbie and Joe's house so of course it rocked! Let us know when the next one is and we will come to it.

Love ya.

And Happy Halloween 2008!!! It was a blast!!!
