Happy Halloween!!!

What a busy day!! Holy Cow!! First of all, according to my mom, the girls were still up at 11 o'clock last night. We put them down at 8, the little stinkers. Amazingly enough they were pretty good today. We started off the afternoon by taking pictures before heading out on our excursions.

Avary was a witch:

And CJ was a cat:

We started our trick-or-treating at Spencer's work. It was really fun. The girls hit the jack pot there.

While we were there, we met up with Rachel and Anthony, Spencer's cousin and her family and Rachel's sister Wendy and her daughter Arnika.

We had two witches and two cats, it was pretty funny. From left to right: Sabrina (Rachel's daughter), CJ, Avary, and Arnika (Wendy's daughter). Sabrina has a new little brother and he was there dressed up as a pirate, it was SO adorable!!

After Spencer's work, we headed on over to the Southland's Mall that I just love. That was where we went last year and had a lot of fun, so we thought we would go again. It was like being at a theme park, it was SO crowded.

It was like this up and down BOTH sides of the street, incredible. We didn't even go to all the places and it took us an hour. Here are some other cuties that we saw there: I love this picture because this little boy was dressed like a devil and he was crying and so sad, it totally fit. His little sister was an angel, very cute, but I didn't get a picture of her.


This little girl caught our attention. She was so cute and content, it was amazing.

After trick-or-treating at Southland's, we ate dinner at Rumbi Island Grill, AWESOME fish tacos, and then we came home and went trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. Our next door neighbor set his garage up for the kids to go in and get candy from a bowl. It was so dark and eerie, but awesome. As the kids went to take candy from the bowl, they didn't see him sitting behind it and he would jump up and scare the kids, it was HILARIOUS!! I loved it. He did such a good job. Most of the adults and older kids wouldn't go in either. That made it even more funny. There is a house in our neighborhood that goes ALL out for Halloween. This is a picture of it during the day:


And this is it at night (pictures don't bring it justice, it is seriously cool):

The girls cleaned up on candy this year. They kept saying that we had to do more trick-or-treating because their buckets weren't full. We had to keep emptying their buckets so they could carry them. They are just like their daddy, they love candy.

All in all it was a fun Halloween. We hope everyone had a great Halloween, we sure did.

love the pictures. Holy cow they got a ton of candy, I think we got maybe a tenth of that between all of us at both the work trick or treating and our wards trunk or treat. I guess your girls are going to have to teach Sabrina the "proper" way of trick or treating!

HOLY COW!!!!What the HECK are you going to do with all that candy? I managed to avoid the trick-or-treaters. My neighbor said she only had 4, so no great loss. Your girls' costumes are cute...even the cat! Love ya!
