Halloween Fun!

Friday we packed some lunches and took them to Seth's work so we could eat lunch with him, which was actually a lot of fun because nobody else was working on Friday, so he got to really relax and eat lunch with us.



Our friends Liz and Patrick and their little boy Jacob came over Friday evening and went trick or treating around our neighborhood with us. It was so much fun! Our neighborhood is so awesome we totally love it. Their were TONS of kids and the people were so nice and thoughtful, the weather was perfect (not cold at all) so a lot of the neighbors had chairs and were sitting on the driveway waiting for the trick or treaters.

Sienna, Jacob, Meika

Liz & Sienna
The last few homes the kids started getting brave enough to walk to the door by themselves.

Here we are after trick or treating, we were all so tired!

We put all the candy in zip locks to put up in the pantry... can you believe how much candy they got! Seth and I are doing our part in getting rid of it!

We had a couple chances to dress up this year, a few weeks ago we dressed up as grandma & grandpa. Seth had just thrown his wig on so it was a little lopsided.

This picture was from the day after Halloween, Seth won the funniest costume prize. The costume had some short shorts to go with it but there was no way Seth would wear them.

We really enjoyed all the Halloween things we were able to do this year and are so grateful for all the friends who are willing to hang out with us during the holidays... Its really hard being so far from our families, especially during the holidays!

Meika and Sienna look so cute. I love how you gave Meika an updo for your ward party. I bet she loved it. Ben and I were grandparents for Halloween too! I guess great minds (or brothers) think alike.

Those grandpa and grandma costumes are hilarious. Especially love the saggy boobs. You guys come up with the best costumes. And I have to agree with the other commenter... you look gorgeous in those pictures at Seth's office. I think the holidays get more and more fun every year the more aware our kids get. I love it.

Ok. I think its time for you to take that picture of me down. The one where I'm standing next to you in my sloppy costume with a lopsided wig and eyebrow.
