October Events: Baptism, Sealing, Halloween

Little Man E's 8 year Session, to see more from his session check out my Photo Blog.
E's Baptism was so wonderful.  We got to have a Baptism for just him, and we had a lot of Family and Friends attend.  The whole program was by our Family (from both sides: Prayers by Grandpas, Talks by Uncle Joe and Grandma, Pianist and Chorister: Grandmas, Confirmation Circle: Little Man E had his Daddy, our Bishop, Both Grandfathers, and 7 of his Uncles) and it was awesome.  Little Man E sang with some of his cousins and siblings, "I Come to the Water," a Baptism song that I sang at my own Baptism as well, so it was really special for me to have them sing it. 
Little Man E was Baptized and Confirmed by his father (Mark), and it was a wonderful, Spiritual experience.  I was very moved seeing my oldest child be baptized and confirmed by my dear husband.  We were all so proud of Little Man E for making the right choice to be baptized into Jesus Christ's true Church.
We were so happy to have so many Family and Friends attend, it made it even more special.  We had a dinner afterwards, and we got to have many lovely conversations with those who were there.
We went to the Temple for Mark's oldest brother's (Scot) sealing to his wife (Laura), and all of Mark's siblings, their spouses and his parents got to be there.  It was really special to be there with all of them.  We went on a Hayride, (driven by Mark's Dad) with Mark's side of the family and it was really fun.  Little Man E (and Little Miss R) have been learning to read, and making some great progress towards independent literacy.  Last picture of Little Man C and cousin C.
We had a Fabulous Halloween this year.  During the day, I took Little Miss K and Little Man C to Little Miss R and Little Man E's School Halloween Parties and Parades.  They were a lot of fun to attend, especially for the kiddos.  Little Miss R and Little Man E loved having their siblings there also.  The kids enjoyed treats, snacks, activities and games together.  Little Man E and Little Miss R's classrooms are very close together; so Little Miss K attended Little Miss R's party and Little Man C attended Little Man E's party (and I went back and forth between the two of them).  In the evening, I took the kiddos (Little Man E: Ninja, Little Miss R: Vampire, Little Miss K: Witch, Little Man C: Pooh Bear) to the Trunk or Treat, and they had a lot of fun (while Mark handed out candy at home).  Then we traded and Mark took them Trick or Treating around our neighborhood and to family members (while I handed out candy at home).  The kids were So Excited about all of the treats that they got in their buckets!  We had a Wonderful Halloween this year!  We always Love Halloween. :)
