Halloween 2016

I really enjoy Halloween. I love seeing my kids and everyone else's kids. I love all the activities and games and carnivals. And of course I love all things with a pumpkin flavor. :) It is a busy time of year but it is a lot of fun. 

On Friday night we had our ward Trunk or Treat. The kids got all dressed up and ready to go. Millie was so excited to be wearing make up. 

We had Jackson with us and he reluctantly agreed to get dressed up so we could go and get some cake. The kids played games, bobbed for apples, and did the cupcake walk. 

Then it was time for trunk or treating. The kids got a lot of candy and Aaron and I passed out candy to many, many kiddos. The kids came home with a lot of good candy. 

Then on Saturday after soccer we head to NYOS for Fall Fest. That was hours of bounce house hopping, game playing, face painting and snow cone eating. 

The kids both had parties at school. In Camilla's class they did all things pumpkin and even got to eat some pumpkin muffins. 

Then we had some friends over for dinner and made our own pizzas and played a few games. The highlight was the donut eating competition. 

I had to help Brooke a little bit.  

We also had a Dad's competition and Aaron won! It was epic. So we have  no pictures of our kids all together in their costumes or of them trick or treating. #parentingfail but the kids did all decide to write notes to the switch witch fairy to exchange their candy for gifts. LOVE this tradition. 

Brooke was our most hesitant to give up her candy. She really loves candy. 

Carson was all over it and counted exactly how many pieces he was going to offer in exchange for something he wanted. 

After the kids went to bed Aaron and I picked out all the candy we wanted (pretty much all the chocolate) and Aaron took the rest to work. 

Well the fairy did not disappoint and it was like Christmas morning when the kids woke up. They insisted they all go down the stairs together. 

Frozen dolls for Brookey. 

A Pokemon book for Carson. 

And a small tent for Camilla. 

Until next year Halloween.
