Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year. We spent it in Utah since Cameron was away soaking up the sun in California. I have spent too many Halloweens alone and wasn't going to do it again. We had such a great time and the weather was amazing. I remember it being super freezing every year and this year we didn't even need to wear a coat. First, we headed to one of the nursing homes and did some trick or treating. Let me just tell you this is the best idea ever, the kids are nice and warm and the elderly get to have fun by passing out the candy. Malia was hillarious. She wouldn't put the candy in her bucket and would insist on keeping them in her hot little hand. When I would take it away and put it her bucket she would throw a fit. She did this for about 5 minutes and eventually she got the hang of it and was excited to pick out her own candy. Apparently, suckers were her favorite candy. Next, we headed out in the neighborhood of where my parents live. By then our kids had quite the assortment of candy and had to empty thier bucket so more would fit. We had a great time. Bailee was Snow White, Braden as Captain America, and Malia was a grumpy Flower, she wouldn't keep the flower part on her head.

Wow - your kids look so good and all decked out. And your pumpkins too - how creative. That is a good idea to go to a nursing home. I'm sure they love that! Where does Cameron go for Halloween - California?
