"This is Halloween..."

I guess you're going to see this pictures in the reverse of how they took place, but you get the idea.

We ended Halloween night by trick-or-treating at Grandma's, and a little bit to some of the old neighbors. That was fun. Grandma gave full size candy bars, and I think the kids just kept taking some. And it was fun to run into people from the old ward and visit a little bit.

All the kids.

All my family that came to the Trunk-or-Treat. We are only missing Brent! It was really fun to all be together for Halloween. Everyone looked great!

Jared, handing out candy. (He stayed at our trunk, and I went around with the kids. Cheryl helped too! (Thanks Cheryl!)

The Trunk-or-Treat was a lot of fun. It made it to were the kids could get a lot of candy fast. And it was cool that my Mom & Dad, Cheryl & Eric, and Melissa & Jake (and kids) all came.

Before the trick or treating got started, Eli and Scott got in the trunk and stared eating the candy we had there to pass out. They were so cute, I just let them enjoy!

This is the creepy thing that my Mom and Dad had in their trunk. It was this head that would move and make noises when you reached in for the candy. The kids were pretty nervous about it. Funny stuff.

This is how the house looked, all decorated for Halloween.

Here is another picture of the monster bush.

Breanne told me she wanted to be a vampire for Halloween a couple of weeks prior to Halloween. But she only ended up dressing up that way for her Preschool Halloween party. For some reason she decided she didn't want to be it anymore for Halloween night. Oh well. She did look awesome for her preschool party!

Josh and Scott were both fire fighters this year.

Our Ward also held a Halloween Carnival for the primary. The Young Men/Women put it on, and they did an awesome job! It was a really cool carnival. They had great ideas. They had the kids go to different rooms around the church where they did different activities, and recieved candy. It was a lot of fun! The kids loved it!

Here they are going "fishing."

Breanne was a dragon!

Here they are "bobbing for pumpkins." (The pumpkins had numbers on them, and you got a certain prize depending on your number.)

Face Painting.

This was a cool idea. They had the kids go into a room that had newpaper all over the ground. The kids had to find the candy on the floor. But the hard thing was that they kept flashing the light on and off. So you basically couldn't see. It was a lot of fun!

And here is Eli doing a "cake walk."

Everyone got a cupcake. And they thought it was pretty cool to hear their number called as the winning number!

Well, this Halloween was a really fun one! It seems like it is always stressful getting everyone ready, but once they are, it is a lot of fun! Happy 2009 Halloween!
