Happy Halloween

This should be an easy post!  The pictures pretty much tell it all! 

We only had a couple of pre-halloween parties this year.  Taylor and Emily got to take daddy to their Activity Days Daddy/Daughter date!  I'm thankful for great friends with great cameras and amazing photography skills.  I LOVE the middle picture (taken by Nicole)! 

Our children's choir had our annual older choir Halloween party!  This is the first year we took a group shot!  These kids are such a blast to be around!

 

Our stake hosted the Stake Halloween dance this year so I got to watch the Youth Council set up and then I got to chaperone and see everyone in their costumes that night!  It was a great turn out; 381 kids from 6 surrounding stakes.  It was a great night!

 

Then it was finally family time!  It is so fun to check out facebook late the Monday night before Halloween!  Everyone is posting these exact same pictures!  :)  I LOVE it! 

 

Well...almost the same pictures!  We happen to be the computer nerds on the block!  We got one Halloween picture in there with Kierra's spider!  Kaylee was supporting her swim team and daddy got the other kids to do the others...making them think it was just a penguin, a window and an apple.  :)

Then there was the school parade on Halloween day.  So fun to see everyone!

The kids had fun picking out their costumes.  Kaylee and a friend really had fun putting their's together!  Everyone looked so great!

The older three girls had their friends that they went around with all night and Matt took the little ones.  It was a perfect fall night!  We were nervous that the cold would come, but the weatherman gave us one more day of happiness before the cold hit!  Maybe it would've been better to have had the cold though, because maybe they all wouldn't have come back into this house with the pounds and pounds of candy they accumulated!

Isaac didn't last long outside.  He stayed and passed out candy with me and Sadie!  He had fun!  I LOVE this video of them!

So...honestly, Halloween is really not at all, even in the slightest bit, my favorite holiday.  But it always ends up being tons of fun and the kids love it so to see them smile makes me smile!  Happy Halloween!
