Halloween Shenanigans

We kind of celebrated Halloween for the entire weekend this year since it was on Sunday! 

Friday the kids had their Halloween parties at school. And they all dressed up so cute!

McKinley cutest witch at Mrs. Fun's Preschool Halloween party

Jaedyn is Angelica from Pirates of the Caribbean (That's Jack's girlfriend). Not pictures is the little skull she bought and named Jack. LOL

Ebony was our little vampire this year.

Lilia is... well... obviously!

And she dressed up with her little quad group!

After School parties, we decided to head out for some fun of our own. Jaedyn headed out to a party with friends. So weird that she is off having her own fun now. She's so old! And it was a boy that invited her! Eek. Never fear, we have known him since he was little and his parents are cool cats. She had a great time. They played a game that I really need to look into... called telestrations and it looks so fun! Christmas game gift tradition perhaps? Aiden's mom is hilarious and made such a big deal about the fact that ALL those teenagers ate like birds! What? I was a little surprised to hear Jaedyn was included in that cuz she normally eats really well. Come to find out her tummy was a little upset during the party. But true to herself, she loaded up a plate to take home!

The rest of us headed to the cornmaze for some fun. McKinley and Ebony were my buddies this trip. It was fun to run around and do what the littles wanted without having to worry about boring the older 2!

This little calf got much love. And gave it!

Lilia invited friends and they took off like the little independent preteens they are to figure their way through the maze. They also had a great time and luckily everyone came out on the other side! Which is a big deal given who her parents are and that directional dysfunctionality runs in their veins. 

Just a little added bonus for the memories. This pumpkin was for a competition at my work. We were not allowed to carve, just decorate it, and it had to be dermatology themed. So my pumpkin had MOHS. I don't think it was a good advertisement for our MOHS surgeons though- I noticed it disappeared after the competition while the other pumpkins kicked around the office for a few days as decor!

Saturday we had family pictures done and I am so excited to see the results! It was only 3 years overdue! After pictures we rushed everyone home to dress up and dropped the older 2 off to trick or treat with various friends. We took the younger 2 around the neighborhood and Ebony got to bring one of her friends along. McKinley wanted a friend too! So we called up the neighbors and met up with them! Due to family pictures, I didn't get the kids fed that night. They may or may not have had a dinner consisting of tootsie rolls and other goodies BUT one home was serving Zupa Toscana so Chad and I were at least well fed. LOL.

Sunday, the actual day of Halloween, my parents came to visit and join us for the Primary Program! I love the primary program! It fed my soul to hear all those kids singing and sharing testimony. The most touching song for me this year was Sacred Grove. I just love the new songs that are being produced and used the last several years! They teach simple principles in a fresh way that testifies of the truth of the gospel to me. 

What a busy and wonderful holiday weekend it was!
