The Cranney Family Halloween was pretty simple this year compared to previous years but we did manage to do the essentials. Our Grandma Cranney made our costumes. If you can't tell already we decided to make our trip down the Yellow Brick Road to see the Wizard of Oz!! There was not one house where someone commented on how cute our girls looked...:0)

Thank you Grandma Cranney!! We love you!!

This was Lydia's first year trick or treating and she did not miss a beat! She said "Trick or Treat!" at every house... She asked for M&M's at every house.... She said, "Thank you!" and "You're Welcome!" at every house! She was so excited for all the treats she was getting that she absolutely refused to let go of her candy bag. It was a blast!!

The best part of all was our Grandma and Grandpa Z and Uncle Chris came and shared it with us. They trekked the long trek, packed brooms, Toto, candy bags, and wands and all the while Grandpa Z was back at home watching the World Series and handing out candy. It was an awesome night!

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Z and Uncle Chrissy!! We love you!!



It wouldn't be Halloween without our traditional Halloween pumpkin carving event. Lila wouldn't go near the insides...she just kept saying "No Daddy. You do it. I'll watch."

Emma swore she was going to be the one to take the seeds and yuck out of the pumpkin. She didn't make it. She put her hands in, gagged, then ran to the bathroom to wash her hands! Here she is carefully placing her hands in the pumpkin so I could get a picture. You can be assured she is not touching anything unbecoming!

Halloween Fun

Our Halloween fun began this year with our annual tradition of carving pumpkins. This is Daddy's event and this year he did a "Posh" kitty. We are so proud of Emma for actually getting her hands dirty and helping Dad get the seeds out.










Lydia's first Halloween. We just had to capture the moment.













Lila in curlers. This was not easy. She wanted her hair "just got out of bed" style. Mom had to actually put her foot down to get her all dolled up.

















Emma's Halloween parade at her new school. This is her friend Mya, she is also new at the school so they became fast friends.




















The finished product. Thanks to McKenna for helping with the curls and glitter. Lila is the perfect pretty pink princess.



























Lydia's the cutest little kitty kat! We had to hurry and take a picture before the makeup was everywhere!

Here are our friends/trick-or-treating partners in crime! There is Skylar, Cole, Brandon, Matthew, Emma Kate, Lydia, Emma Dawn, and Lila.

Waiting for the prize. We worked really hard on our "Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!"

Emma Kate was kind enough to take Lila by the hand and help her out to the next house.

And the finale! The prettiest Hannah Montana of all! Miley Cyrus could benefit from a couple of his secrets of beauty!
