Halloween

Since Halloween fell on a Saturday - we had to do the dress up thing twice (no complaints from the children, though). Friday morning was the Halloween parade for parents. The kids all looked awesome. Then later in the afternoon, I went back to school to help with Johnathan's class party. I loved being able to be there. Johnathan seemed to glow with excitement that I was in his class. I helped with the Halloween bingo center.

Saturday after getting the kids dressed up again. I was glad we didn't deal with any makeup this year which always takes tons of time.
I had to take a picture of my 2 cowboys.
The whole gang!
Camille - our pioneer Johnathan - the referee
Parker - our scary ninja
Tanner - the funny cowboy:)
Carter - our blue ninja
Bradley - our cute cowboy!
Camille & Bradley went out by themselves to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood. This allowed the older boys (along with Byron)to be able to go faster.
The boys before heading out. I love daylight savings time on Halloween - the kids are able to start trick-or-treating in the light, which keeps it warmer (check out the kids without jackets). The weather was just perfect.
And off they go. I enjoy staying home to see all of the kids in the neighborhood and I can stay in the warmth of the house.

After being gone around 2 hours - the kids all came back with more than they ever would need. Camille kept with Bradley's pace and he pretty much went through half of our neighborhood.
Before heading up to Salt Lake, we had to stop by Uncle Dennis and Aunt Sherlene's house. We were lucky enough to find Nicole and Emily before they headed out also. They all looked so great I couldn't resist taking their picture.
Aunt Sherlene took a picture of us also -
Knocking on Grandpa & Grandma Beck's door - Halloween wouldn't be complete without coming up to their house after the trick-or-treating is over. We can't pass up the yummy cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate!
Camille and adorable Timothy.
Sorry Michael - Genevieve, Timothy & Michael
Sarah, Clara & Jeremy
My kids again.
Ashlyn, Cameron, Cooper, Alyssa & Cadan - loved their adorable costumes.
Cadan & Bradley - Cadan had been eating his candy and was trying to smile, but had such a big piece it didn't quite happen.
All of the nieces and nephews together.
Dad Beck playing with Cadan.
Mom Beck holding Timothy.
Johnathan, Tanner & Cooper playing Bop It.
The cowboy bringing his horse upstairs.
Clara wouldn't pose for me, but I got a cute picture of her playing with the bus.
Melissa playing cards with many of the nieces and nephews.

We always have such a great time with family on Halloween. Heading home, the kids all crash with plenty of sweets in their stomach and a full day of fun activities.
