I kept meaning to go outside and get some really cute pictures of Bennett in his Halloween costume like I did last year (they were mostly really cute because of my willing subject), but I just haven’t done it, and I’m ready to get rid of the Halloween stuff in my living room. The Sunday before Halloween, Bennett got to pick out a pumpkin from his grandparents’ pumpkin patch with all his cousins. We went trick-or-treating on Saturday night and he actually picked up on it pretty quickly – he knew to reach right for the candy, then quickly turned around to head to the next house. When we got home (we didn’t go to very many houses) he loved running to the door for the trick-or-treaters and sat for about 15 minutes taking candy from our candy bucket (meant for the trick-or-treaters) and putting it in his trick-or-treat bag. He’s been pretty good about not eating it – mostly because he usually can’t open it himself :)
Bennett and I met our friends Laura and Grace at farm country at Thanksgiving Point a few weeks ago. This time, Bennett was less confident on the pony ride (he held onto me tightly the whole time) but was a lot more interested in the animals. They had fun playing in the little jailhouse too – here are some pictures from the farm.
I think I’m getting to the point where turning a year older on my birthday is a little sad rather than exciting. Fortunately, Nate spoiled me by getting a babysitter and taking me to dinner up in Park City a couple days before, and spoiling me with presents, breakfast, and lunch on my actual birthday. Bennett and I went up American Fork Canyon to explore and look at the leaves the morning of my birthday, and several friends and family members came over for cake & ice cream that night. It was a fun weekend of celebrations – here are a few random pictures.
