THE PERRY'S: Happy Halloween Blessings!

I hope you all had as great of a Halloween as we did. We took the kids trick-or-treating. They dressed up as a gypsy princess and Tigger. Aleigha had a great time trick-or-treating. She really enjoyed herself. It was so cute to see her go up to the doors, open her bag, and say "Trick-or-treat....thank you....Happy Halloween." She only got a little scared at some of the costumes. However, she got really concerned when she saw someone wearing a skeleton mask that had blood pumping through it. She kept saying..."He bleeding mom." She was so concerned that she went to the next house and told them, "He bleeding, he bleeding. That guy bleeding." Brenton enjoyed the nice outside while being pushed in the stroller. They both looked absolutely adorable.
On Sunday, Nov. 1, 2009, Chris gave the kids their Baby Blessings at church. It was a wonderful moment. And of course, the kids looked adorable all in white. After wards, we had a potluck lunch in honor of Aleigha and Brenton.
Today Aleigha said one of the most special things to me. I was in the bathroom and had just finished putting my hair in a messy bun....she looks up at me and says, "Mommy, you so pretty." I bent down on her level, gave her a hug and kiss and told her how much I loved her. Then I told her how pretty she was. She got a big grin on her face, and said, "Just like you mommy." She certainly made my day. What a special little girl I have.
I have two great children and a wonderful husband. I am such a lucky person. God has blessed me abundantly.

we had spent about a week camping out in the living room...the last night Aleigha really wanted to camp...so we got out her tent, and she slept in it all night

the beginning of Chris' master piece

it's coming together

almost done

the pumpkin in the dark...the pictures don't do it justice

the finished masterpiece

the Indian Warrior pumpkin

Chris worked for about 2 hours on this pumpkin. He did it completely free hand. He found a picture on-line to get the idea...but that was it. I think it is the best pumpkin I have every seen.

Aleigha was a gypsy princess...and a beautiful one at that

Me and Brenton at the town's Halloween hot dog roast.
It had rained all day, but stopped about an hour or two before it was time to go out. It was a pretty cold evening, but Brenton's Tigger costume was just perfect.

I know this picture is way way blurry...but I absolutely love it

my pretty girl

Brenton 1st experience at trick-or-treating

Aleigha after the first house...she was so excited, she wanted to show everyone what was in her bag...she got really good at saying, "Trick-or-Treat.....Thank you....Happy Halloween."

Brenton not really sure what to think of all this

out trick-or-treating...Chris and I didn't dress up this year like we had last year, but we still had a really good time dressing up the kids and taking them out

On Sunday, Nov. 1, 2009 Chris gave the children their Baby Blessing...he did a wonderful job and they were really well behaved

I suppose we had to at least post a picture of the four of us on such a special day...but it is really not that great of me (really bad actually). It was truly a wonderful day. We had waited such a long time for this and the children looked beautiful.
