Halloween

Halloween...I know a lot of people have chosen not to take part because of what this holiday stands for, however what a great testimony to have our kids go from church to church and hear other kids say..."Mom, thanks for bringing us to church." When I heard that young boy say that we were on our second hay ride at Sunnycrest. People were asking all sorts of questions and loving that the hay ride was so perfect. The weather was fantastic.

Halloween was quite an adventure for us. It all began the Sunday before at Faith Baptist "Trunk or Treat" (which was fabulous). It would have been perfect had they had nicer weather. She was able to see all of her friends and Memaw proudly paraded her around to show everyone what a cute fairy (our version of Tinkerbell) we had.

Then Halloween night we dressed the kids up and headed to Pepaw an Nana's. We had some great pictures taken and started the evening off to our first of 3 church trunk or treats. We don't intend on church hopping to gain all of the candy we can. We were heading out to have a safe enjoyable evening and see some friends along the way. We ate some free food and Alexis was a trip. She didn't care who you were, if you were big you were supposed to put something in her Elmo bucket. She would just walk to anyone and say "treat please" and if they did not listen...it was a louder MORE! Hilarious. We had an incredible evening and as tired as we were and as hard as it was the next morning to brush the glitter out of the fairy's hair. We will do it all again.

Aiden was the Baby Einstein's "Blah" dragon. That probably does not mean anything to anyone, however it does to some family members. When Alexis was little her Nana got her the book of Blah Dragon and it says "blah" over and over again and plays 2 other songs. We were on a trip to their house one time and this little girl played that book song 27 times. It would end...she would start it over. Needless to say, big sister loved the dragon brother!

Hope you all enjoy the following picture posts and remember that it does not matter what day it is we can always use these days to minister to those who do not know Jesus Christ as their Saviour. I say that is what these churches did. Took a pagan holiday and loved on families.
Love God...Love People!

Hope to have birthday party pix up soon!
