Tonight was our ward Halloween party. It was held outside... and it was perfect fall weather. There was a hay ride, a bonfire and other games for the children, and of course, my boys' favorite part, the trunk-or-treat. There were several creative families who actually decorated their trunks, one even had carved pumpkins lit with candles. The activity was open to friends and family, not just the ward, and we had a GREAT turn out... I was quite surprised! The only downfall was we ran out of candy after the first 5 minutes or so!

Kaleb HATES wearing things on his head, he has since he was a baby, so his mask lasted just a few minutes on until he took it off for the rest of the night. During the trunk-or-treat, Kaleb was a bit confused saying, 'Hey, I don't have any candy!' After I explained to him he needed to walk up to everyone's car trunk and say 'trick-or-treat', he ended up with more candy than Kaden at the end of the night!
It has been said that two great minds think alike... neither Kaden or his best friend, Braydon, knew the other was going to be a ninja too!! You can image their surprise! =)
Sky didn't want to dress up, but was really happy to see all the other teenagers were there too to hang out with. (Oh my gosh, he looks like SUCH a mini Donnie in this pic!! =)
Donnie & I had such a great time looking at all the really good costumes, handing out candy, drinking hot cocoa and talking with friends. The best part, is we didn't get home really late... just in time to tuck our sugar-crazed boys into bed, of course after a supervised intense teethbrushing!!
