It's only a little late, but I wanted to post Halloween pictures before Thanksgiving so I wasn't too late! We had a fun year this year and got lots of use out of Celeste's costume and a decent amount of use out of Eddie's costume. Gordon had some Halloween outfits, so he only wore his costume once, but it was enough! So, Celeste's costume was a Vampire Bat, Eddie was Winnie the Pooh, and Gordon was Winnie the Pooh's Honey Pot!
Celeste's school held a Harvest Festival and the kids could dress up. Eddie didn't want to, so Celeste dressed in her costume with makeup and all. She loved it! The festival itself wasn't spectacular, but the kids were able to get lots of candy and prizes, so they were happy!
Then Grandma's ward held a Halloween carnival with chili dogs, scones and a cake walk. All of the kids could win cake or cupcakes and our kids did just that. They didn't win just 1 cupcake, no, they won a plate of cup cakes, so we had dessert for a couple days in a row for the the family!
Kyle was Captain Hammer, this is a kid as the "as seen on tv" guy (Billy Mayes), and Auntie Erin looked great in that wig!
Then our own ward's Halloween festival came up the day before Halloween, so we were able to go to that. It was just a bunch of craziness, but the kids got to go trick or treating inside the building like we usually do every year and their cousins were there, and Nana and Papa had decorated a classroom for trick or treating, so the kids enjoyed it until they got too tired to think!
Of course, that brings us to Halloween! We went to lunch and a movie during the day with Grandma. I am disappointed in myself though because it was a momentous occasion in the fact that this was the day Grandma got her very first cell phone!!! We are so proud of her!!
That evening the kids went trick or treating with their cousins Javen and Leann. It was a great night for trick or treating and Eddie did not want to come home after they were finished, he could have kept going for a while longer if we had let him, but he ended up happy when we told him he could eat the candy if he came inside!
It was a great holiday and now we are ready for the next holiday season to begin!
