Fall Festivities

I feel like we crammed a lot of Halloween celebrations in this year. Paige was so into all of it, it made it really fun.
-We carved pumpkins. Paige ended up gutting out her little pumpkins and decorating them with marker. Deacon was fine with the pumpkin until we cut the top off, then he was absolutely terrified of it! He cried and demanded to be held the rest of the night and didn't want to be anywhere near it. Very strange fear...

-We had a little Halloween play date with friends, where we decorated pumpkin cookies, made a pumpkin craft, and played pin the hat on the witch.

-Paige had a little preschool Halloween day at her friend's house where they made cheese and veggie pumpkins, got their face painted, and played ghost bowling.

-We got "Booed" from our neighbors (they leave you a bucket full of Halloween treats and toys). Our neighborhood does some really cute things, I am loving how family oriented they are. We also had fun being sneaky and "booing" two houses.

-We went to our friends' adult Halloween party, where the decorations were amazing! We were feeling a little lazy/cheap with our costumes, so pulled out my Goodwill Minnie outfit from a high school ASB day, and put some suspenders and a bow tie on Ben for that "Chippendales" Micky look. Too bad his suspenders were apparently meant for shorter people and kept snapping off :)

-We went to the ward trunk-or-treat where we lined up as many Elsa's as we could find.

And we kept our tradition alive by eating too much of the Halloween candy early and having to go by more the day of. Ahh family traditions :)
