Today was a big day. Victoria said it would be the best day ever, because FIRST she was going to get baptized. Then there would be a big party. THEN they got to go trick or treating! Can it get better than that? I don't know. I started the day off by taking pictures of my friend Ashley's family, and her little girls are so so adorable. I will post pics soon on my pic blog. Then I headed to Orem. They asked Alan to ask someone to give a 2 1/2 minute talk on baptism, and he asked me. I talked about the primary song, "I like to look for rainbows/whenever there is rain/and ponder on the beauty/of an earth made clean again. . ." and it went well. Toria did a great job and Alan gave her a beautiful confirmation blessing. It was very touching and I can't believe she's so old! She is such a little grown up and has true desires to do good. One day we were driving in my car and she said, "I was thinking that I need to be a better example to Brayden. And when he makes me mad I just need to walk away instead of fighting with him." It was so cute.
The luncheon was awesome, nothing like soup and breadbowls. Love it. We had a great time visiting with everybody, April has a great family and it's nice that we all get along so well. We have been so lucky with in-laws, way to pick 'em, sibs! I laid down with Audrey to take a nap and I think she only slept for about half an hour, but I didn't want to wake up. Naps rock.
I stayed the whole day so I could go trick or treating with the kids and it was fun seeing them get so excited about their costumes. April's mom, Grammy Susie, made an unbelievable mermaid costume for Toria, Brayden was a pirate, and Audrey who was scared of every costume (so so funny) wore a dress-up fairy/ballerina/froofy something.
I don't know that there is much more in the world that I would rather do than hang out with the kids. I think it's because I live vicariously through them. And because of their cuteness. I'm glad that A & A don't get sick of me around. . . .but it'd be silly to turn down free babysitting, right?!
This is the only picture I got, and Tor has this thing about not looking at the camera.
This picture cracks me up because they look so excited.
Ha ha. . .I remember this. Dad would have to go through all of our candy first. . . . watch out for those hypodermic needles and drugged taffys, right??
This really is April's hat, I just wanted to wear it. I've always loved hats, but they don't always work with my hair.
This was hilarious! I guess they have come out with a SYTYCD "Get Fit" DVD and it was a shameless plug. Kupono was hilarious. 
This was a running gag. . . . Remember that one time that Phillip and Jeanine did the Russian folk dance and nobody liked it? So they kept trying to do the dance and would sneak onstage with a big old boom box. . . Totally planned, but funny anyway. 
Eventually, they got to do a bit and then everyone came on doing the same dance. . . ha hee ha.
It was so so so fun! I'm really glad we went, I love girls nights!
