Halloween 2013

This year was low key. I didn't go the extra mile for anything. Bought the kids costumes and for the first time in our marriage, we didn't dress up. I figured I made a kid instead. I still wanted to do a few things for the older kids so we did participate in a few things. Just not as much as normal. Last year I bought Akoy a spiderman costume but he wouldn't wear it. This year we got a Jake and the Neverland pirates costume but he wanted Spiderman. So we settled, one for each day. :)  Here are some of our events this Halloween: 

Trunk or Treat: A few wards get together and have a trunk or treat. We parked on the street and left my Graham with my mom in the car. I took the kids around while Bryson handed out our candy at someone else's car. The kids loved going to all the cars. Lily had a hard time only taking one piece but eventually learned. They loved eating it all gone!

 Play Group: I didn't go this year but my friend Amber was nice enough to offer to take Lily for me. She sent me this picture.


Law School: Every year we head to the Law School and trick or treat to some of the professors. I love going. The kids love it as well. It is mostly Mormons that go. Since we have all the kids;)

I love this picture

Some friends, I wish we could have gotten everybody!

Trick or Treating: We only took them to 10 houses but they loved it! I tried taking pictures of the kids but realized my camera was on the wrong setting and didn't get much of Akoy.

Lily was a little scared :) 

We continued our tradition with the great pumpkin. He came and ate all but a few pieces of candy and then left the kids a surprise. Akoy was so excited to give the great pumpkin candy. Lily even understood the concept! Yay for getting rid of the candy!
