Ward Halloween Party

I have been so excited for our Halloween party this year. I was anxious to see what Lexi would do. After dinner the first activity she participated in was a cookie walk. She didn't know what was going on and why she was walking on paper but she was more than happy to get a cookie. She put it in her little bag and pulled it out every once in a while to show someone. She was so proud.

We took Lexi around the church to go trick-'r-treating. Again she didn't know what was going on but people were giving her candy and that was great! She had a fun time.

For Halloween I was "static cling". We got the idea from Mark's aunt. I have socks pinned all over me. My hair had settled quite a bit by the time we took this picture. Lexi was obviously a Care Bear, Mark a cowboy, and Isaac was just cute (and worn out after so much excitement).



Lexi was fascinated by this "rock". It had a motion sensor and would flash lights and laugh when triggered. She loved it! We stayed there for at least 10 minutes setting it off. She could've stayed there all night.

Here's Lexi during the costume parade. She had no idea what was going on. We had her hold hands with the little boy to the side of her so he could help her. (I used to babysit him regularly) In this picture she had just ditched him to follow everyone else.

Our adorable little Care Bear waiting for her dinner.

Isaac just chillin'. His festive outfit had a ghost and a bat on it.

You guys are so cute!
Mark makes a pretty good cowboy; must have been all those years listening to 'Pickup Man' and the like :)

I'm glad you guys had such a good time. It's always fun to see the moment when a kid 'gets' it. Lexi is sure learning and growing so fast!

I miss the Twin Falls ward Halloween parties. They were so well planned and fun! I need to convince some people here that Halloween is not the Devil's Holiday and that we can have fun. Your kids are adorable!

Monette, love the idea for your costume and your children are adorable! I can't believe that everyone who was at the Coutyard who had no kids, now has the same number as us. We'd better get crackin' lol. :)
