Halloween

We had a great Halloween weekend!





All the kids had been anxiously awaiting the big day. Trick-or-Treating in our neighborhood is HUGE! Last year I made up 50+ bags of goodies to hand out and ended up giving those all away and then taking some of the kids candy to hand out. A handful of our neighbors throw parties, have bon fires, and just simply set up outside to enjoy the festivities. We have been here at our house for 18 months now and are still meeting some of our neighbors. It's wonderful!

This year we had a pretty interesting group. Brett was a gladiator, Madison was a Disney fairy, Noah was a Cars pit crew worker, Dylan was a fire fighter, and Mackenzie was a little bumble bee.

The weather wasn't the best, cool and slightly windy, but the kids never complained. Mandy & Lisa came out with us this year. I am always thankful for a few extra hands! After we went a couple blocks we made our way over to my parents house. She had hot chocolate waiting to warm little bodies.


We finally made it back to our house to have pizza and 'wind down' from a sugar high. It was next to impossible to keep their little hands out of their treat bags;) Overall the day was great fun.
