Halloween Excitement

We have had so much fun the past couple of weeks preparing for Halloween and enjoying all the festivities. Grandpa Robbins was here on business and took some shots of the kids in their costumes. They weren't totally cooperative but I think they are still the most adorable Peter Pan and Tinker Bell around. After all the fun with Grandpa, we had the Ward Trunk or Treat except the forecast was unfavorable so instead of a Trunk or Treat it was more of a Table or Treat in the gym. It was a little crowded but the kids still had a good time getting treats and running around with their friends after the structured event was over.

Next was our annual pumpkin carving FHE. The kids had a great time playing in the pumpkin "guts" and despite a little frustration here and there, Brady and I had a good time carving. After it was all over, Brady decided next year we should do the good old fashioned triangle faces so that Caden can help with the cutting.

Busy at work


SPOOKY!!!

Finally after all the waiting and anticipation...Halloween Night arrived!!! It was a beautiful day and a gorgeous night for Trick or Treating. I got the kids all dressed up AGAIN (I don't remember Halloween lasting this long when I was a kid) and when daddy got home we embarked on our adventure. We didn't even need jackets this year (definitely my kind of Halloween). It seemed like we walked forever but I guess that's just because Kamrie has tiny legs and insisted on walking every step of the way because we never actually left our little housing complex. When we got home we admired our loot and basked in the fun of it all. I think I like Halloween more now than I did as a kid...there is something about watching my little ones all dressed up with excitement oozing out of their adorable little bodies.


The kids favorite house by far...it was even mentioned during Kamrie's prayers that night. Thanks guys for loving our kids, they sure love you.

Cute kiddos. Jack would have made a nice addition to your theme. Do bad we don't live in the same state anymore. :-(

Cute, Cute kids!! I think you were the cutest ones of all the trick or treaters! I hope you got lots of treats to last you for a whole year! Thank you mom for showing us all the fun! (I think carving pumpkins is a real "pain" - but the memory is really worth it!)

Grandma loves Tinkerbell - and Grandma loves Peter Pan!

Lots of hugs and kisses!!!!
