Trick-or-Treat...

Well, here they are. Ellie loved trick-or-treating. She got scared a little when a guy at the door was dressed in a really good wolf suit, but other than that she did fine. We happened to be the only trick-or-treaters that the people saw all night, but they loved us. We had international people who took pictures with our kids, people who we accidentally went to twice (I think they gave us more candy the second time), and got way to much candy. Enjoy the pics...

P.S. Thanks to Janell, Shaohe, and Ashley for the pics of our kids.

Fall is Here...

Sorry about the last couple of weeks. Two weeks ago I had to present a paper for my class, and last week I was sick. Now we have a lot to catch up on. This week I will give you some of our Halloween pics, and next week I will give you the pics for the girls in their costumes.

A couple of weeks ago we went to a Fall Festival and Ellie found her dream job. At the festival they had a miniature waste management truck. She loved playing with it, but was a little afraid of the horn. It was quite loud. We also bought some malasadas and ate as much free ice cream as we wanted. Ellie had a pretty good time until someone stole our pumpkins. They gave out free pumpkins and I didn't want to carry them around so I put them on a back wall away from the festival. When we came back they were gone. The pumpkin thief struck again.

Lastly, for Halloween I carved a pumpkin (Jenn was putting Avery to sleep).  Ellie was going to be Tinkerbell so I carved Tinkerbell into the pumpkin. Then for the ward Halloween party we had to bring watermelon so I decided to carve Avery into the watermelon. I think it turned out good, but the watermelon rotted super fast.

Well, enjoy the week costume pictures to come next week.
