Happy Halloween!

We had a pretty fun Halloween! We started off the day downtown at Riley Hospital. Jacklynn participated in the Babytalk Research study where they observer the hearing of normal children in order to compare the results to those with cochlear implants. It was a pretty fun and interesting experience! She even got her very own "Baby Scientist Degree" from Indiana University! Go Hoosiers!
Then it was Becky's (Nic's mom) birthday as well so we took her out to lunch and then to Pottery by You. It was so fun! Jacklynn was such a little artist with her very own apron! She was a little confused though as to why I was painting her hand...
but it turned out pretty cute!
The finished project...well before the kiln!

For trick or treating, we headed up to Nic's cousin Shannon's house where we met up with all the kids! Lauren and Jillian are the butterflies. They belong to Andy and Jenni Keller (Andy is Nic's cousin). Then Sophie is the turtle. She is Jason and Shannon Pongratz' little girl (Shannon is also Nic's cousin. And then the Elmo is Scott and Erin Pongratz' little boy Tyler. I can't wait to show them this picture when they are all friends and 16 years old!
Jacklynn was a little unsure of her position in the wagon, but she held up like a trooper. I want to know what she is thinking about Snow White talking to her in this picture...:)
The wagons being pulled by Jason and Jenni.


After trick or treating, we headed back to Nic's parent's neighbors house for a bonfire. There we met up with Kayla and Emma...Jacklynn's favorite 4 year old twins!!
It was a great day! And I think it is safe to say Jacklynn made the most out of her first Halloween, don't you?!
