Burton Beginnings: Kai's First Halloween/Nevada Day

Last year, Halloween got away from us! We didn't go to a pumpkin farm or carve pumpkins. In fact, we didn't even BUY pumpkins from anywhere! We're lucky we even remembered candy for trick-or-treaters (well, being pregnant I wasn't going to forget a chance to stock up on candy!!).

This year, we went all out! A couple of weeks before Halloween we met the Malcolm's and my mom at a pumpkin farm just north of Waverly. It is perfect for kids!! I think Kai will really love it next year when he can really enjoy all that this farm has to offer. I did take him for a ride in their little "train." We also picked out pumpkins to carve and went on a hayride, twice.

Kai was holding on for dear life!

Nana and the babies!

Kai and Ella have aunties who LOVE candy!

Kai and the Great Pumpkin!

The night before Halloween, Tyson and I got busy carving our pumpkins after Kai went to bed (we still waited until the last minute to do this). We've made this a tradition since the first Halloween that we were together (minus last year). I'm excited to see how Kai likes playing in the pumpkin goop next year!

On Halloween day, Kai wore his lion costume to daycare all day! He was the cutest lion I've ever seen!! After daycare, we met Wendy and the girls (Princess Ava & Baby Chick Ella) downtown to take Ava trick-or-treating. After hitting up all of the stores, Tyson and I took Kai to a friends' house and then home to greet our trick-or-treaters. (By the way, we had such a low number of kids this year so we were left with a ton of candy.)
