Halloween

Halloween started for us on Friday. I got to help with Brody's school party, and got to visit Trey in his class too. The kids were so excited to show their friends their costumes and have a little party! Then, we came home and hurried to decorate the back of our car for our ward party. We had a trunk-or-treat which the kids go around to every one's car and get candy, and then we headed inside the church for a little dinner and games. TJ got to help the young men put on a game this year, and he loved that. They did the donut on a string game. Our neighbors, my sister and my niece and my parents came. We had a blast! Brody really bugged me about decorating our trunk this year (we usually don't decorate it) but it really paid off because we won a gift certificate to Chili's for a prize! Score! Then on Saturday the boys went trick-or-treating with Travis and my dad, and the girls, my mom and I, stayed in to give candy to the people who came to our house. The girls thought this was so great. Whenever the doorbell rang, they would rush to the door, pick out a candy, and then put it in the kids' bags. If there were a lot of kids at the door at once, it took them a few minutes to get the candy and (one by one) and put it into each bag. They thought they were big stuff! Just in case you're wondering, TJ was a carrot, Brody was Harry Potter, Trey was Mickey Mouse, Lyssa was Minnie Mouse, Charli was Hannah Montana, and Travis and I were people from India. Anyway, we missed all of you who weren't here, and can hardly wait to check out your blogs so we can see everyone else in their costumes!
