Marley's blessing dress was the most beautiful dress I've ever seen, thanks to my extremely talented mother-in-law who made it especially for her with very little input from me. All I told her was that I wanted it off white with a vintage, 1800's look to it. She is amazing! If you look closely you can see all the little flowers on the chest area that she did by hand and the adorable bonnet that had matching flowers on the ends of it. I know this was a big task and that she worked really really hard on it and I hope she knows how much I loved it and how special this dress will always be to Marley. Here's my happy baby telling Grandma how much she loves her dress.
In this shot the lighting is a little weird and makes the dress look kinda yellow but we only took a few of her sitting up (well, propped up anyway.)
Then Dyl got his chance to hold her...she wasn't so sure about that and neither was I so we only got the one shot. At least Dyl's looking, right? Cheesy smile and screaming Marley but at least his eyes are open and he's facing the right direction. I'm not picky.
We took Marley out and took a few shots of Dyl, I must sayI was pretty pleasantly surprised. He smiled for the most part and tried to hold still so Grandpa could get a decent shot.
His favorite of course was when Grandpa took a photo shoot of him as Bam Bam.
Good job once again King! 
Lucky for us Bran and Megan decided to come with their crew to complete the ensemble. Here we have Ais as Tinkerbell, Elly as Wendy, Meg as Tiger Lilly and Bran as the Indian Chief. I think we had more fun dressing up then anything else.
Here's a cute pic that Megan shot of our little Peter Pan, Dyl's favorite movie of all time.
Magic castle is this huge magic place where you have to either be a member or know a member to get in, guys can't get in without a suit coat and girls have to have semi formal attire. There's a restaurant inside with amazing food and you just spend your evening walking around to get into different magic shows and stuff. It was pretty crazy since it was Halloween eve, they did a lot of stuff that I'm pretty sure only happens once a year.
Then, Halloween night we went to my parents Trunk or Treat. I decided Peter Pan was boring, it was just pants and a shirt! So...I decided to run to 
Later that night we stopped by Anise's halloween party (for some reason I didn't get any pics there...i was a really cool party though) followed by Bri's. Here's Bri (spiderman) with her buds...totally takes me back, especially since they have "G.T's" too...sigh, back in the day, right guys?
Bri was a good sport and lots of fun and played games and had a good time, while a lot of her lame friends were "too cool" or something. Logan and Summer each get a shout out because they at least tried bobbing for apples...Bri was the only one that really got in there though. 
The next night was Trunk or Treat in Pasadena for my Nana's ward. Now Pasadena's got it goin' on, first of all how cool is it to have Trunk or Treat the night AFTER halloween? I think all wards should do that, and second, they had an Inn and Out truck that handed out free Double Double's all night. Yum. I found out Aisley was coming at the last minute so I quickly turned Dyl's man purse into a Pebbles costume that actually ended up working out better then I thought it would.
Megan and I were the only really good parents that allowed their toddlers to run around half naked and barefoot in the rain. We sure got a lot of looks and a lot of totally buggin' comments like "whoa, looks like Pebbles and Bam Bam must be freezing!" In that annoying voice that means, "I hope their mothers hear and pick up on what I'm saying" In our defense, it was warm despite the rain and the ground was warm too, I took off my flops and felt it myself. Besides, my son prefers to be naked and barefoot and it was halloween so I decided to let him run wild.
