Halloween 2008

Halloween was a blast. We had so much fun trick-or-treating. Our ward decided last year that they wouldn't do anymore trunk or treating. Since our church building is in our neighborhood they decided it would be better to just go trick or treating to peoples houses. I mean we literally could walk to church and hardly anyone in my ward drives. It just doesn't make much since to not just go house to house.

Mason loved it. He would say trick or treat before anyone even answered the doors. Then he would say it again. He was funny because people would bend over to give him candy and he would see how much they had and didn't understand why they wouldn't give him more. He always said thank you and absolutly loved it. Isabelle just followed his lead. She would say trick or treat or something that sounded like it. She didn't really understand the whole candy in the pumpkin thing. She would take the candy and then she would put it in her pumpkin. We took the stroller with us because we wanted to finish before midnight. Everytime we would put the kids in the stroller and go to the next house they would just look in their pumpkins in awe at how much candy they were getting.

We had to take Izzy's pumpkin home and empty it partially so she could keep going. After trick or treating we went over to Jana's house and she took pictures of the kids in their costumes. After that we went to our friend Audrey's house and visited. We couldn't not let Audrey see the kids in their costumes. Then Mason Izzy and Josie (Audrey's daughter) went to a few more houses in her neighborhood. We were out for a long time and when we got home Izzy was out of her costume before we even walked in the door. We all had so much fun. It is one of our favorite times of the year.
