Happy...non-scary Halloween!

We had a great time for Halloween this year; lots of smiles, fun, and candy! We had a full weekend--Pumpkin Patch with church on Saturday and trick-or-treating on Sunday. Of course, with the way I am, I booked my Saturday completely. Soccer game in the morning, season-ending lunch after, hair appointment for my little angel, photo shoot with her, dressing up the kids, Pumpkin Patch, taking pictures at Pumpkin Patch, then...home. Finally. To get dressed right back up again and do it the next day. Whew! I was worn out; in fact I think I came down with something--exhaustion!
Rio was an angel to match Lathan's costume--Jesus. Yes, Jesus. Lathan has this great hair...

...so then, with his long, curly hair and blue eyes, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to dress him as Jesus. I actually made his costume myself; which was a treat--I learned I need to own a sewing machine. Having Jesus with us was so great, and the jokes abounded for two days!

While trick-or-treating, Jesus made his first appearance at a doorstep after he took the time to walk on water by the curb..

Jesus is knocking at your door...will you answer? LOL

...and a friend joked on Facebook about this picture that Jesus went out to the wilderness by himself.. (hilarious, Sara!)

Although Lathan (I mean, Jesus), didn't understand the concept of getting candy, then walking away, and even putting the candy in the bag instead of trying to eat it all on the spot, we still had tons of fun trick-or-treating with our friends. Rio had a great time playing an angel too, and she sure does love Jesus!

So then, what of our little angel? Didn't she get all dolled up for a photo shoot with mommy? Absolutely! She was shimmery and glittery, dolled up and sweet--everything she wanted to be for Halloween. We had some time together and I had been looking forward to this time with her for awhile! I love her seasonal photo shoots; they keep me going!

God is sooooo good! 

She is a wonderful little girl and I am so blessed to have her in my life! She teaches me more and more every day about unconditional, sweet love. She is so close to Jesus, it's amazing to witness! I love her smile and every cute thing she says and does including, "oops, sorry to mention.." Haha, hilarious!

And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3. Yes, Lord!
