Halloween!

We have had two fun filled days of Halloween activities and boy am I tired! But it was so much watching Ethan actually "get" Halloween fully for the first time! We started out the festivities on Friday night with a Trunk or Treat at our church. We invited my mom, grandma and aunt, Jason's sister and her girls, and Jason's parents to come and they all showed up. We had a nice little group and it was fun to share the evening with them.

Me as the Magnificent Maleficent. So many kids came up to me and squealed "It's Maleficent!" I did not think I would get that reaction. It was totally cool.

My Batman

Jason as Hellboy and Ethan Batman. Jason's costume turned out good. It was part purchased, part homemade.

Our family!

Yesterday, we started out Halloween by going to the Canyon Crest Towne Center to see what they had to do. They had a costume contest and trick or treating, with some other stuff. It wasn't that great, but I had always wanted to see what it was about. If it was organized better, it would have been cool but lack of organization always ruins events.

After that we had dinner at my grandma's and then drove to a neighborhood near there called Orangecrest to knock on doors. We have never done that area before, so we didn't know what to expect, but it was great and Ethan ended up with a full bag of candy and he had a blast!

Ethan decided he wanted to be a ninja turtle, so we let him. He has a bunch of play costumes at home, so we didn't have to go buy anything new.

Anyways, we had a great time, and I wanted to thank Jason's and my family for coming to our trunk or treat. It was so much more fun with you there. Also, thanks mom for coming with us to Canyon Crest, and for taking some of the pictures I posted here. You really got some good ones! Happy Halloween!
