halloweens

Halloween is crazy these days. Growing up, we had Nevada Day off of school which also happens to be Halloween. On that day, we carved pumpkins, got our costumes ready, and went trick-or-treating. We did it all in one day, and that was it! I don't even remember wearing my costume to school. Now, Halloween festivities seem to go on for weeks. Last Wednesday I had our ward play group over for a Halloween party. Thursday night was our ward Halloween party with Trick-or-Treating from door to door in the building. (It was a fun alternative to a Trunk-or-Treat). Then, Trey, Talya and I went to my friend Donna's house for another kids' Halloween party on Friday morning. And finally, we went Trick-or-Treating in Spanish Trail, where Jordan's parents live. (Just about every house you go to hands out full size candy bars. Fun to get, but not so fun to weigh yourself a few days later!!) So, fun was had many times and Trey was able to wear his costume many times and celebrate the holiday many times. Kids are sure spoiled these days!!

Trey was a rocker, Talya was a fish.



Trey, kissing his candy.


Trey was much more interesting in dipping his M&M's in the frosting
and eating them instead of decorating his haunted house.


Dumping his "loot" to see what he got.

Halloween was crazy, but I think you guys definately partied harder than we did. It is so much more fun when you have a kid who is "getting it" and gets a little excited about it though. It makes me want to get more into it next year. Maybe even dress up and go to a party myself- with or without Chris!!

No kidding about the on-going holiday. It never ends!! It's amazing the costumes even make it until Halloween night. But fun non the less. Trey and Talya look awesome! Their costumes are super cute!
