Happy Halloween!

We had a fantastic Halloween. There were several parties all month and Saturday was non-stop fun. We went to our ward Trunk-or-Treat/Chili Lunch. The highlight was finding another Fancy Nancy wearing almost the same costume as M's.

Later that night Trent, Kylie, and Lady J joined us for dinner and the viewing of some football. I had planned to take M and Vi out trick or treating before they came but the weather did not agree and it poured for over an hour. We began to wonder if we would go at all when M's friends from down the street showed up at our door with candy bags and umbrellas. We grabbed jackets (the ever-present costume accessory in Utah and Idaho) and an umbrella and joined them.

I didn't think the kids would last long but M and her friend were having a fabulous time and didn't want to stop. We were out for about an hour and the kids made a haul! Most people said we were the only ones to show up and gave the kids handfuls of candy. After heading home we spent the rest of the evening handing out candy to the few who dared brave the rain and cold. One of my favorite moments of the evening was when we found Vi with a Tootsie Pop shoved in her mouth and she was gnawing her way through the wrapper. She was not a fan of me when I took it away.

We all had a lot of fun but the best is really just watching M and Vi enjoy it all.

The Haul. Vi refused to look at us for this picture, it was all about the candy. Kylie got some great shots of Vi and J going at it all.

M looks great! I like that Vi pulled a costume change. That is awesome! And I must say, that is a respectable pile of candy! Way to go girlies!!!
