Happy Halloween!

This past week has been full of Halloween festivities, fun, and lots of candy! The kids were able to get good use out of their costumes, which was great since I spent a lot of time on them!

Kobe was a vampire, but he was too cute to be very scary!


Lily was a fairy.


So Cute!!!

We went to a festival at the YMCA, another one at the University, Trick-or-Treating, and our Ward Trunk-or-Treat. We were busy trying to have as much Halloween fun as we could possibly fit in!

In Iowa they go trick-or-treating the night before Halloween so the kids aren't out the same time as everyone who is partying. Also, the kids come to your door and tell you a joke in trade for some candy. It's a fun tradition, we'll have to be on the look out for good jokes for next year.




On Halloween,

we made sugar cookies to take to our neighbors,


painted pumpkins (much safer than carving!),




and acted silly!


We also went to the Trunk-or-Treat but didn't take any pictures, we figured we had taken enough of the kids in their costumes throughout the week!

Hope ya'll had as much fun as we did! Now we are looking forward to Thanksgiving, and a season of gratitude, family, and good food!
