Happy Halloween

Aaron's favorite holiday is Halloween, or at least one of them, so of course he was sad to miss the big event this year.

Blake was a special forces guy and Dylan was Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Dylan would even talk like a pirate. We were practicing with Dylan to say Trick or Treat and he every time we would get to a door, he would hold out his bag and say..."candy"! Our talk was obviously very effective.

Blake salutes you all. I didn't think much of Blake's costume..he thought it was cool, so whatever. We got a huge response for his costume..people saying they have kids currently serving in Iraq or previously served. Great reminder of how many people fight for our freedom. 

Okay, so it is hard to get a good picture of them..have I mentioned that before?

He had so much fun!

Blake loved it too...once we got to houses. This morning I told him Happy Halloween. He said, "Mom, it is only Halloween at night time." 

Hey Dylan, say cheese. What a kid.
We had a ward trunk or treat at 6-7, so before real trick or treating happened...man, not too many people showed up. Hopefully they do it another night next year.

Blake didn't believe it was trick or treating because it wasn't dark yet, so he wouldn't say trick or treat at our ward trick or treat. Why does he need to think about things so much sometimes?

They each got to pick out a treat to eat...Aaron would be proud, Blake picked Cheetos. Someone is handing out Frito Lay products!

Dylan picked out a sucker, which is his favorite.

Some houses were awesome, but I couldn't get very good pictures because my kids wanted to get more candy. Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!
