Happy Halloween!

This was our first year away from family....ever...on Halloween! I missed the Taco Soup and crowding into a little house to visit, or going up to my mom's to hit the "good stuff" But over all it was nice. 80*, no coats to hide the costumes, no freezing rain, and a lot of people sit out side to pass out candy. Our neighborhood didn't have much to offer so we hit others. I managed to get a group shot before they all split up to get their candy.

TC: Vampire Slayer? Titus: a Hobo, Tate: a Ninja (no, he's not taller than Titus (yet) he's standing on something) Tobyn: Ben Ten, and Tanner: a Pirate. TC went with his friend, Tate and Tobyn went with their friend, and Titus and Tanner went with Mom and Dad.

The loot: Well...3/5 of it anyway....

Couple of the lucky kids got one of these beauties in their sack.

Nothing like Halloween and Tick-or-treating to get some good preaching in!

Tanner was pretty fun. We'd walk by a scary house and he would get his candy, but if it was too scary he'd come back and tell me "I hate that house". He would also smile and say "I look down and I look up and then I look down and I have candy!"

It was a great night! On Saturday we had gone to our wards Trunk or Treat/Chili Cook-off, and so we have TONS of candy! Our Chili won the "Spiciest Chili" category. The kids have had so much fun over the past few days! Happy Halloween!

Wow, they are growing up so fast! We also did not have to wear jackets. I am just glad it is all over. Now for Thanksgiving!
