Halloween Marathon!!

This year for Halloween Lilly went as Belle and Ivy went as a Lion. But we figured Ivy looked enough like it that we decided to say they were Beauty and the Beast. We did a lot this Halloween! We went to this Alliance Spooktacular where they had bunch of fun activities like face painting, "cookie walk", decorating pumpkins with stickers, and a costume contest where the girls both won something. Afterwords we hustled on over to our church's Trunk or Treat and Chili Feed. There they had a carnival area as well and then of course the Trunk or Treating where Ivy got to try her first sucker and , man, did she enjoy that! Later on in the week at Library Day they also had a little Halloween party where Lilly got her face painted again, this time like a flower. And then on Halloween Lilly's preschool had a Halloween party where she won the "cutest little princess" award. After school we hit down town trick or treating. And then picked up daddy and did some more trick or treating. Over all we had a very busy, very Halloween-ie couple of weeks! And way too much candy!!!

The Tew's visit to Nebraska

My parents came to visit a couple of weeks ago so we showed them the wonderful sites of Alliance! First off was Carhenge which my dad really enjoyed but it was bitter cold when we went. I think Lilly froze into an ice cube within the first 5 minutes! We also showed Then Lilly wanted to show them our Boo Bombs and Popping Pumpkins we had just done a few days before. Baking Soda and Vineger...always fun! Then we went to Central Park which is one of my favorites. It was just too bad that the fountain was already turned off. But by the end of their visit I was beginning to wonder who's vacation it was with all the help i got with the girls. It was so nice! We always love when grandma and grandpa come to visit!

Many Many Pumpkins

Halloween is always a fun time around our house as it is Aaron's favorite holiday. And one of his favorite things to do this time of year is carve pumpkins. And man, is he good at it!
