Halloween Festivities.

Just chillin' with her BFF Sophie.

Baby's 1st Halloween.

Just can't get over how cute she is!

"I'm not sure I like this guys!"

Our masterpieces.

Happy Halloween from the Pepper Family.

Maddie, Daddy, and the "Maddie Lantern."

We just loved the kitty hat.

One happy bumblebee.

Out for a trick-or-treat stroll.

What a great Halloween 2010! The festivities started out on October 30th with pumpkin carving and caramel apple making at Grandma Jill and Grandpa Randy's house. We had a great time carving our pumpkins complete with a "Maddie Lantern", AJ the kitty, a goofy grin, and a creepy guy. Our first attempt at making caramel apples turned out OK. Seems as though there is definitely a technique. They tasted yummy, but didn't have the professional quality to them. Hehehe. It was a fun experience anyways.

Since you can only put your baby in a pumpkin once, we just had to get some photos of Madison in a jack-o-lantern. She was not too fond on the idea of being stuck inside a slimy, gooey orange thing, but we managed to get a few pictures of her anyways.

On Halloween we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's house to continue our festivities. We just had to dress Madison up for the occasion. She didn't seem to mind her bumblebee costume. She is just the cutest little bee I have ever seen. We took her to a few of the neighbors houses to show off her cuteness. Can't wait until she can actually say "trick-or-treat." John was definitely excited about the handful of candy that "Maddie" had collected. :-)

After having Maddie's first real holiday, we just can't wait for the holidays to come. Looking forward to continuing on with our family traditions as well as making some of our own as the Pepper Family.
