Trick or Treat

The last hoorah for Halloween. Trick or Treating in the neighborhood for awhile. and then off to Grandma's house to see cousins. We had quite the busy neighborhood this year. The streets were lined with cars from people who had left there neighborhood to trick or treat in ours. We must have a reputation that I was unaware of. I felt bad leaving to go to my mom's with so many trick or treaters around, but a grandma wants to see her cute little grand kids all dressed up for Halloween. She was smart and bribed us with dinner.

Halloween Fun with Friends

Co-op has been the greatest thing. Whoever thought up this idea is a genius! Thanks to my friend Melissa for starting it up in our ward. We've been doing it for over a year now and the kids and the moms have really bonded. Here's a picture of most of them at the Halloween party.
