Trunk-or-Treat

On Saturday night our ward had it's annual Trunk-or-Treat. Jaron and Jantzen were so excited to get all dressed up in their costumes again...Jaedyn, not so much. She threw a fit as I was getting her dressed and then she was a little difficult for pictures.

I did manage to barely get a picture of all three of the kids together with their pumpkins, but I was farther away than I wanted, so I took individual ones.


Here's my little "Harry Potter" with his "Boba Fett" pumpkin...


And my little "Luigi" with his "Mario" pumpkin...


And then here's my little "Snow White" with her "Snow White" pumpkin...


Jaedyn kept taking off while I was trying to get pictures, which was slightly frustrating, but I did get some. Here she is getting into her carriage to go get some candy...doesn't she look so stinkin' cute in her costume? I love having a girl to dress up on Halloween.


Here's one final picture of all the kids together before we piled in the car to head to the church. The boys had to hold Jaedyn so she wouldn't run off.


We met up with our friends the Heiselbetz's and the Foisy's in the church parking lot and headed out for some Trunk-or-Treating with the kids (Josh stayed back at the car to hand out candy).

Here's Jantzen with his best friend, Dallin. I think they both look so stinkin' cute as "Mario" and "Luigi". They got a lot of comments about how cool they looked from a lot of people there.


Here's Jaron with his best friend, Jace. They didn't want to hang out and trick or treat with us because that's not cool to hang out with your mom, so they went off on their own. Normally, in this town, I'd never let Jaron do that, but we were at the church so I was fine with it.

**Not that I'm biased or anything, but I think Jaron makes a super cute "Harry Potter".**


Here's my little character with Avery and Dallin. I don't know why he's always posing like that, but he does know how to make us all laugh.


It didn't take us long to go around getting candy, but the kids had fun. After we were done we just hung out at our cars and chatted with our friends before heading home.

Since I'm always the one taking pictures and am rarely in many of them, I made Josh get one of me with our kids plus one (Jace). I love how Jaron gets into character, he just loves that wand. Too bad it doesn't really work!


My little Jaedyn is such a doll. She was loving the glow bracelet she got very much. She didn't let go of it all night.


I can't forget to get a picture of Josh with his little princess...


And the rest of the guys with their girls...Neil & Rylee (Tinkerbell), Josh & Jaedyn (Snow White), Erik & Avery (Punk Rocker).


After hanging out for a bit while the kids ran around and played we went home. As soon as we got there Jaedyn had to explore through her ladybug bag to see what treasures she had inside. She quickly discovered the wonderful things she could eat inside. When she was done chewing on one wrapper, she would go for another one. Luckily she can't open them yet.



We had another fun night of Trunk-or-Treating this year. I'm glad that we have a safe way for our kids to still be able to enjoy Halloween. Things are definitely different from when I was a kid. Sometimes it gets a little stressful, but when it all comes down to it, the kids have fun and that makes me happy...and seeing my kids all dressed up puts a big smile on my face, they are so cute!
