HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES

We started out the Halloween festivities this year with our ward "trunk or treat" Friday before Halloween. They had a chili cook off and different booths and games set up for the kids. We end the night going around the parking lot from car to car "trunk or treating". This year Kalei HAD to be "Sleeping Beauty Butterfly". I know, no such thing but hey it's Halloween and who really cares. So I pulled of the wings from last year's costume and pinned them on Sleeping Beauty and there ya go. Kalei was rather particular with everything, had to wear a certain crown, hair had to be a certain way, wings had to be touched by "DADDY" ONLY and placed in a certain spot etc.... Talan was pretty easy. He was a pumpkin this year. He had a lot of fun roaming around the parking lot and digging into all the candy buckets.

On Halloween we had the Halloween ritual of Wayne's yummy chili outside of my aunt Karen's house and homemade rootbeer before everyone heads out trick or treating. After partaking in that ritual we headed over to Uncle Kevin's house where we topped off the night of fun. This was our first time going over there for Halloween. They close off their cul-de-sac and basically the whole neighborhood comes over and they all line their chairs up and pass out candy. They have a bunch of different games for the kids, spook alley, hot dogs etc. It was soo much fun. We got there at the tail end of it and it was a madhouse. It was basically a city block party. Kalei had fun just following her cousins around collecting candy while we all got to sit and relax watching them make the rounds without having to worry about cars etc. That's something we will definitely be doing again !! Thanks for inviting us guys !! :)

How fun with uncle Kevin etc . . that soudns like the way to go. Sadly we've never taken Macie out door to door- they have no sidewalks or street lights here, but the ward parties are always fun.

How cute. I love the idea for Sleeping Beauty Butterfly. How unique! Talan is so adorable. I can't wait to see your next child. Hope you are feeling ok.

Sounds like you guys had a blast, I know Sage did and Keiger would be all about the candy if we let him have any. He cried when I didn't give him a bite of a chocolate bar I was eating :-) All this kid does is eat. We are getting really excited to come visit...only three weeks

We might have to get the boys dressed up in the pumpkins again, for a picture. I forgot he was being the pumpkin, and Conway wore the same costume on Halloween. They're probably the same size, it would be a cute memory!
