Halloween

Halloween was so much fun this year. Holidays are just better with kids. Especially two-year-olds. 

Ryan had a blast going to all the doors. We were out for quite a while, hours.

And he could've stayed out for even longer.

Earlier that day I went and got a Jack-o-lantern pizza from Papa Murphy's. 

I thought Ryan would absolutely love it. He thought it was okay. :)

After dinner we headed out for our Trick-or-treating!

Jared stayed home to man the door, and I took Ryan and Brady for a nice long walk. The weather was perfect! Light jacket weather. The next day it snowed; I'm so glad the snow waited just one day.

Here are the boys before we headed out.

Here are a few more of Ryan. He's such a cute boy.

Brady's ready for Trick-or-treating! Can you see the excitement on his face?? :)

The first door we knocked on was our neighbors, Matthew and Tiffany. They LOVE Ryan and we love them! I think Ryan was a little nervous at first because of the mask. He got the biggest smile when Tiffany lifted her mask. After that Ryan walked right in. I had to coax him to actually go Trick-or-treating. He knew that hanging out over there would be just as much fun. :)

Here is a video of him knocking on Matt and Tiffany's door.

He was so brave going up to doors he didn't know. This is his first door. "Trick-or-treat!" 

We were gone for a long time. We wore Brady out!

One of the last doors we went to had a handle knob on their door. A bunch of kids were at the same door so I couldn't see Ryan very well. All of a sudden the door opens and there is no one there. We all waited and then I realized that Ryan had opened the door. Stinker! Our neighbor, Iola, came running to the door all smiles. She has grandkids and understands. :) 

We stopped at Matthew and Tiffany's again before we headed home. I knew that Ryan would love showing off his candy haul. Again, he walked right in and ran into the house to see Matthew. He refused to come with me. At this point I was getting a headache and Tiffany was totally fine with him hanging out there for a little bit. I went home to get some medicine and take off my bear headband. Turns out the headband was what was giving me the headache. :)

We all went back over to Matthew and Tiffany's and hung out there for a good hour. We love them and are going to miss them so much when they move in January. They are neighbors that I don't think Ryan will ever forget. Even being at the young age of two. :)

Here is a video of Ryan telling me about Trick-or-treating. It's stinking cute and the ending is the very best!

I tried to get a picture of the boys together. This is the best one I got. I really need to work on my picture taking skills with both of them. :)

Ryan took these next pictures. These guys are such great sports! I just had to post these. 

 

Tiffany has stickers at her house for our little visits. Ryan runs right to them when we get there. He gave me a sticker on my shirt and somehow it ended up on Brady's lip. So funny!

Thanks you guys for being such good neighbors. We are going to miss you tons! 

When we got home I let Ryan dump out all his candy and eat a few more pieces.

Ryan loved Halloween and I am so glad! He has been talking about ghosts and monsters at least once a day since then. If I sing with vibrato, he calls me a ghost. :) We had a blast and I can't wait for the rest of the holiday season. I love having a two-year-old! :)
