Halloween Festivities!

I never thought I was much of a crazy celebrator with Halloween....but having a two year old who knows all about trick-or-treating and dress-up sure makes it more enticing!!

 Our play group decided to do a Halloween party, and it turned out GREAT!! They started with a costume parade where the children marched around the gym in their fun costumes.

 And then was filled with fun activities for the children.

 It was a great way to spend our morning while Brian was at school. :)

 Later in the evening we went trick-or-treating in the mall. 

 Crystal thought it was the greatest thing ever! Before we started, we told her each place would give her one piece of candy...so as we were trick-or-treating, anytime someone gave her more than one piece, she would take the extra pieces and give it back after saying "No Thank you!"  I giggled a little inside each time. :)

 Saturday Morning, we had a 4.5 mile race...and Crystal was SOOO excited when she saw our matching t-shirts.  She would take her "baby spider" and put it next to my "mommy spider" and pretent to walk them across my shirt to their "home." 

 Later that night, we had our ward activity.  Any guesses who Brian is?  I'll give you a hint...Arrested Development. :) ...we had a lot of good laughs. :)  ....Unfortunately...Abigail had a diaper issue in her costume...so she's the PJ Princess. ;)

 Crystal was a Bumble Bee, and I was Cruella Devil.

 Hank, Crystal, and Caitlin chillin in the hall with their late-night goodies...yum yum

After the ward party, we put the girls to bed and went over to a friends for yet another party.  I only took a few pics unfortunately, but this is what I have...This is Joseph and Aryssa, who were the hosts.  And I thought Brian would have a hard time washing his face off. ;)

 Sarah and Ardy

 Michelle and Matt

After the party, Brian and I went home and watched our traditional Halloween Horror movie....the old-school, black and white "Night of the Living Dead."  ....Call me pathetic, but it really did scare me. :)

On Halloween Sunday night, we let Crystal eat her candy and had a Halloween-movie-a-thon ( Halloween Dora, and Monsters Inc.)  Crystal was hilarious with her candy. She had a bowl of corn with her as well, and would take one piece of candy, a handful of corn, and so on.  So Cute. :)

Hope you had a great Halloween too!!
