A Great Halloween

Happy Halloween!!
We had a fabulous Halloween this year. The kids got so into it. They were excited about dressing up and trick-or-treating for weeks. It was so much fun. Here are some pictures of our celebrating.

Pumpkin Carving Time
Daddy is a fantastic carver. Daven and Logan got creative and helped draw their pumpkin faces. I offered to help carve, but Mike quickly assigned me to gutting the pumpkins. I guess it is an art form and I didn't get that talent :) Glad I married someone who has it.

Ward Trunk-Or-Treat
The Ward Trunk-or-Treat was on Friday, October 28th. The kids were SOOO excited to dress up. Daven was at a birthday party, so I took some cute pictures of Logan and Aves before we left. I love their little dancing in this picture.
We were waiting in front for daddy to come pick us up with Daven. Avery suddenly became so happy and excited. She needed someone to share the excitement with. She stretched out her arms and gave Logan the happiest hug ever. I made them stay there so I could take a snap shot! So CUTE!!!
Daven got dressed in the car and then the kids were ready to trunk-or-treat. Mike and I took off early to go to dinner with friends. Maya, our babysitter made sure they got lots of candy! Avery spent all morning Saturday taking one or two bites of everything. She had so much fun!

Minnie Mouse

Avery was excited because there were THREE Minnie Mouse's at the trunk-or-treat. She felt really special.
We put sponge curlers in all day for Halloween. She was a giant frizz-poof of tight curls. But they looked really cute!
Sparkly shoes!
Minnie Mouse kept saying she was tired. She fell asleep in this camping chair. It was really sweet.


BATMAN!!
Logan was super excited to be Batman. He wanted to wear his costume every day during the month of October. It was really sweet. He made a very adorable batman.


Passing out candy is almost as much fun as trick-or-treating!


NINJA!
LOVE this picture!
Dav loved passing out candy, too!

Halloween Street Party
Recycled White Trash Costume! I guess that is what White Trash folks do....recycle!
So the street behind us is the place to be on Halloween. My friend, Lisa, invited us to crash her street's party. It was so sweet of them to invite us. We brought camping chairs and sat in the driveway. We also had yummy soup and nacho-cheese dip. It was fun to see everyone. Since several people in our ward live out in the county, they came trick-or-treating on our neighborhood. So it was fun to see everyone. Wish we would have bought a house on their street :)
Baby Chloe...11 days old. This is Lisa's neighbor, Debra. They hung out with us and their baby was the cutest, littlest thing ever.

This is really the only costume I have.


The Jensen's came and visited us, too. Love the super girl costume!
Happy Halloween!!!
