Halloween

This past Thursday was Halloween.  As with every other holiday, around here, we celebrated Halloween on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday

Wednesday night Casey and I decided to paint our pumpkins instead of carving them this year, painting them was so much easier.  We also spent the night painting Casey's Halloween costume...I forgot to take pictures , but this year Casey was a dice.  We had fun painting large black dots onto a white box for Casey's costume and painting our pumpkins. 

We started Thursday off by going to Lydia's Halloween parade.  Mason had so much fun watching all the kiddies walk around in their costumes.  The parade was going through the lunch room and the auditorium, but we had the brilliant idea to watch the kids, in their costumes, cross through outside.  Let's just say it was definitely warmer when it started, because when all the grades had passed through, it was freezing outside.  Mason, Ashley, and Parks were freezing.  Mason loved being snuggled up in his stroller with his blanket. 

The rest of the day was pretty low key, Casey was at work until 5:00 so our Halloween celebrating picked up again around 5:30.  We started our Trick-or-Treating rounds by going to Myrn and Garrett's, Grandma and Grandpa Furr's and Lin and Justin's.  We had a fun time showing off how cute Mason looked in his CUTE Mickey Mouse costume.  While we were there we saw Amy and Stace and all the kids in their cute costumes.
 

 
 

After trick-or-treating at Myrn and Garrett's, Lin and Justin's, and Grandma and Grandpa's we headed over to C.J. and Bridgette's and Casey's mom and dad's.  When we were at Casey's mom and dad's we saw Andy, Tayci, and Parker.  Parker dressed up as a cute minion.  We, again, had fun showing off how cute Mason looked in his costume. 
 
Since mom and dad had to work at the temple on Thursday, they didn't get to see all the kids in their Halloween costumes and we didn't get to do our annual tradition of going over to mom and dad's for chili, bread sticks, and Halloween sugar cookies.  So mom decided to celebrate Halloween on Friday night.  Everyone dressed their kids in their costumes, AGAIN, and we celebrated Halloween, AGAIN! 
Lydia was a witch
Canyon was a Ninja
Landon was Optimus Prime from Transformers
Oakley was the Wolverine
Parker was a monkey
Mabel was Tinkerbell
Mason was Mickey Mouse
Ashley was Minnie Mouse
 
I've never been a real big fan of Halloween.  I never liked dressing up and parading around in a costume, but Halloween becomes a lot more fun when your not the one dressing up and you get to dress up your kids!!
 
We had such fun nights celebrating Halloween with family.
