Happy Halloween!

Yesterday was quite the eventful day in our family. My sister-in-law had her second daughter yesterday afternoon. I drove down to her house in the morning to pick up her oldest daughter, Jessica. Aspen and Jessica had so much fun playing yesterday and Aspen even woke up this morning asking, "Where's Jessica?". It's so cute to see the cousin love!


Jason's parents came into town to help Jennifer out with Jessica and the newborn. When they got into town we gave them a tour of the new house and then went out for dinner down the street at our new local Tex-Mex restaurant, which was really good! We had to hurry home to get Aspen ready to go trick-or-treating before I had to head to work.


We weren't sure what to expect in our new neighborhood for Halloween. In our old hood we would get barely any trick-or-treaters every year and just ended up with a bunch of extra candy. On the drive back from the restaurant our neighborhood had transformed into a Halloween madhouse! It was so exciting to everyone out in their costumes runnning door to door.


Practicing her "Quack!"
This was Aspen's first year to trick-or-treat and she was such a pro. She would say, "Trick-or-Treat!" and said thank you after she got her candy. She would even give a good quack and waddle if asked :) She was definitely making a great impression on some of our new neighbors. 

I have to say that she was the cutest little duck ever. So many people kept thinking she was a little boy, I guess because most little girls dress up as princesses, but I figure she has the rest of her life to be a princess. I can't wait to see how this neighbor does up Christmas!!
