Trunk-or-Treat

 

Our ward does a trunk-or-treat for all the kids in the neighborhood every year for Halloween. This year it was really fun. They had a chili cook-off, a pumpkin carving contest, tons of games, and everyone could come in costume and just hang out. The kids had a great time and got lots of candy already... which is no good, because I have been eating all of it :) They cant wait till next week when we can trick-or-treat around the neighborhood!



 Alexandra was the little mermaid this year.  The costume was super big on her.  I think I ended up using about 15 safety pins to keep it on her! But she was excited and I think she looked really cute!  The main reason I love this costume is because how modest it is.  All the other costumes like this were really scandalous for a 4 yr old!!!  Plus the long sleeves will keep her warm for trick or treating!

Andi says that you have to be something scary for halloween, so she decided to be a Dementor-those scary things that fly on Harry Potter.  She loves harry potter.... my dad got her into it  :)  The whole reason we got this costume was for the cool mask it came with, but masks arent allowed ANYWHERE during Halloween-so dumb!!  So we thought this face paint looked ok with it.

 Josilyn was Belle for halloween.  She is throwing a straight-up terrible 2 yr old tantrum here.... She didnt want to wear the pink undershirt with her costume, so she laid down with Gideon and was holding his hand...so cute, and so naughty!












 

We had a little chicken costume for Gideon, but seriously, do little babies need to be uncomfortable for halloween?  I dont think so.  So, I just put him in a spiderman shirt for the party.  Its just as cute, and he was comfy and happy all night!
