Trick or Treating Fun!

It is a tradition each Halloween for our kids to go to Steve's work and go trick or treating throughout his office. It is fun for us to see all of Steve's co-workers (many of them dress up in really fun costumes) and the kids get TONS of candy.

After we got back from APlus, we went to see my Grandma at the Beehive home. We met Allyson and Kelli and my mom there to show my Grandma the kids' costumes. Here is a cute picture of all of the kids. Ben was there in a cute monkey costume, but he just didn't want to get his picture taken. Savannah was the cutest witch ever and Hunter was a cool Ninja. Ryan was Aniken (sp?) Skywalker. Way cool! The kids were excited to see each other and Grandma.

After we went to Grandma's we came back to our house and had pizza with the Andersons and my mom. Sharla's kids looked so cute, too. McKenna was an awesome clown, Noah was Buzz Lightyear and Lilly was the cutest flower ever!! As you can see, Taylor and Kayleigh are missing from this picture. They both decided that they are too old to hang out with the family on Halloween so they went out with their friends.

Here is a picture of my kids with Grandma-Great. They were so happy to see her and show her their costumes. I know that she was way excited to see them, too.

The funnest part of Halloween this year was actually going trick or treating. We are usually running around to see family and never actually get the chance to trick or treat. Me, Sharla, Grandma Anderson and Grandma Linda took the kids around our neighborhood and we honestly couldn't have had more fun. The weather was PERFECT and the kids had a blast! I haven't really enjoyed Halloween much in the past, but this year it was SO fun. I think my kids will remember it for a long time.

We went to a house in our neighborhood which actually looked like there wasn't anyone home. So we were all waiting there and out jumped Freddy Krueger. It scared all of the kids pretty bad, but Josie was absolutely terrified. I think her trick or treating was kind of ruined after that. It was so funny. We were all so shocked. Then we went to a few more houses and Josie was still being scared. We went to another neighbor's house and I said, "Oh, I'm sure there won't be anyone scary at this house." So I'm sure you can guess what happened next. A man jumped out again in a scary costume and scared the kids again. It was so funny. The adults were laughing so hard and he felt so bad that he had scared her, but it was great. She didn't do too much trick or treating after that, but I think she will definitely never forget this Halloween.

I can't believe I am saying this, but I will actually look forward to Halloween next year. Hopefully the weather will be just like it was this year. It was great!
