Halloween

 Grace almost realized her wish to be a horse for Halloween this year. I was grateful that she was excited to be a cowgirl, and that Amazon could be so accommodating.

 Eden wanted nothing more than to be a witch. I was asked several times where we got her costume and she must have been paying attention because by the end of our ward's trunk-or-treat, she was telling everyone that she was 'the Costco witch'.

 Grant as Sonic the Hedgehog. I told him to make a Sonic pose. Et, voila.

 Our ward had their trunk-or-treat at the baseball diamond down at our stake center. Our ward is so very large these kind of events are difficult to manage indoors, and really take a toll on the building. We all thought things went much better outdoors.  Grace and Grant made the rounds in the costume parade, and then helped themselves to the activity booths. Cori ended up helping at one of the booths all evening, and so Eden and Jeffery and I played and visited.

 Cori was still out on the field and JJ was needing both my arms, so Grant and Eden helped me hand out candy for a while. Once Grace showed up, they grabbed their buckets and built up their stash.

We carved up the pumpkin Grant got on his field trip to the farm. Our house was dark on Halloween night. We went up to Cottonwood to be with Papa Ray, Grandma Sandy, and Papa Ray's family. They had a lovely fireside memorial for Great Grandmother Irene who passed away earlier in the Summer. We were so glad to be able to spend a little time with them, and they were very kind to us and our kiddos.
