A few days before Halloween, Allison's preschool class went to the pumpkin patch. I love this annual tradition. Here is a photo comparing last year and this year. She's growing too fast!
Saturday night, we went to the ward Trunk-or-Treat party! Daddy had to work so we stopped by the fire station for a brief visit and then on to the party.
The party was great. There were lots of carnival games, face painting, chili & bread, room to room trick-or-treating, etc. Alli and two other sunbeam friends were kitty cats. So cute!
I loved the kids costumes this year.
Ryan had a hard time choosing but was very excited once he did. Now he can't wait to try out real football and is awaiting next years sign ups!
Darren got out his airsoft guns and gear and was totally in his element! No surprise there.
Blake's proved to be the most challenging costume this year. He FINALLY decided the night before the party what he would be. His favorite candy bar! Happy to have him excited, I ran to the fabric store and spent Saturday morning throwing this costume together. I think it turned out ok! 
My little kitty cat decided her costume ages ago! Since we already had all the pieces except for tights, this was pretty easy. I thought she would change her mind in the days and weeks leading up to the big day, but no. She did not waver. And I'm glad. She was adorable! She watched the calendar daily, counting down to Halloween. She was so excited!!
I was so impressed at our Bishopric who really got into the spirit of things! They not only dressed the part of prisoners, but took it to the next level by enclosing themselves in a jail cell made of PVC piping. They closed off the clerk's office foyer at the end of the hall and passed out candy from pie tins. It was perfect!
Darren won a prize for his 'cheeseburger' pumpkin decorating. He did the entire thing himself, including cooking up a one pound hamburger patty.
Oh, and I was there too.
Happy Halloween!!

"Oh and I was there too." He he!
Our ward party was so great! I love that you took a picture of the Bishopbric. They're the best.
Great job on the candybar.
Fun! Missed you at the Pinneos party!
So cute-love the picture of the three little black cats:D...and the picture of you and Alli is pretty darn cute too!
So many "wow" moments for me in this blog piece. First--that looks like at least 2 years growth. One year?!? Second--the Hersery bar, better than okay. What an awesome mommy to put that together. Looks great! Third--LOL I'm loving the jail birds and their PVC pipe. Who came up with that? Fourth--Seriously I thought my wow's were done and then read the best line "and I was there too." :D
Loved the photos of our grandchildren in their great costumes this year!! Papa and I anxiously await every Halloween to see what the grandkids will choose to be next. Always so creative. Blake, you picked Nana's favorite candy bar! Darren your pumpkin was the BEST ever! Ryan looked professional in his football gear! The cutest kitty ever!No costume this year Nicole????
They all look great, your pumpkin is VERY cool, and I can't believe you wipped up that costume in a morning! Wow! I can't believe how much your little girl has grown in a year. What a fun set of pictures! Oh - and I meant to tell you on Darren's birthday post, having teenagers is awesome. I am loving it! They are so fun...
