Halloween...

I will be honest.  I am really glad it is over.  I realized this year that I love the simplicity of Halloween that I was raised with.  Growing up, Halloween was basically a Halloween party and parade at school and then trick-or-treating on Halloween night.  This year with trick-or-treating at Landon's school, a friend party, trunk-or-treating at the church, and then actual Halloween night, I was ready to be done with Halloween.  I just felt like it wasn't as exciting for the kids to dress up Halloween night because they had already worn their costumes a few times.

With that said, we had a good time.  It was fun for the kids to have a special day to go to Landon's school.  We are so lucky to have friends that put on an awesome party and did all of the dirty work of putting it together.  We were happy to support the ward and go trunk-or-treating and be with our ward family.  And Halloween was great.  Kinnie and Andrew had a good time and it was fun to see the excitement as they went from door to door yelling "trick-or-treat".  Andrew was so polite and made sure he said "thank you" to everyone.

Hey we at least tried to dress up.  And Landon did have a fake mustache but had taken it off to eat.


The only picture I took at the trunk-or-treat.  One of the dads dressed up like Cookie Monster and passed out Chips-A-Hoy for the treat.  Our kids were loving it and I should have gotten a picture, it was pretty funny.


Our nice neighbor Sharon always brings over some homemade crafts stuffed with treats on the holidays.  This is what they got this year.

Such cute, cute kids. I too was feeling like it was a little much this year, but on the other hand it is nice to actually have the costumes we work so hard on seen. Anyway, love those pictures!
