We had a fun holiday weekend! Rachel got to wear her costume lots! On Wednesday we went to Lore's Halloween party for all the kids and she did such a cute job entertaining them. On Thursday, we went to the Library for storytime and the costume parade/trick-or-treating. I told Rachel we were going to be in a parade and she kept thinking that we were going to see a parade, "Mom, where's the parade?" "Rachel, we are the parade," I kept telling her as we were walking around the library in a big line. Nope, she didn't ever get it and was disappointed since she loves parades. And just to be sentimental for a second, I met Lore a year ago at the library just after the Halloween storytime! I am so grateful that we met!! Shortly after, she introduced me to Mandy and the three of us and our kids became great friends. We do so much together and I think of them as my sisters - they're the best.
On Saturday, we attended the ward party and Rachel loved the trunk-or-treat. Afterwards, we went to Mandy's amazing Halloween party and let the kids stay up late and run around all crazy and sugared up. On Sunday night, I got Rachel dressed up to trick-or-treat to some of our non-member neighbors since I knew they'd want to see her. Our favorite neighbors are Jim & Pam across the street and Jim always gives Rachel little toys on holidays - he gave her a little stuffed orange witch and Rachel was thrilled and has been carrying it around all day. (Surprised about the Sunday thing? This is not Utah, folks! The only trick or treaters we got were on Sunday night. We got three knocks with about 12 trick-or-treaters, then Brandon aka Scrooge decided we were done so he turned off all the lights and we watched a movie.)
Happy Halloween from our family to yours!

These pictures are so GREAT! I am biased, but the one of Sami, Janie, and Rachel is my favorite! They are so cute together. And Andrew is absolutely precious! I told Jonathan that watching him on Sunday made me baby hungry ☺.
I must admit that when you mentioned trick or treating on Sunday I thought to myself "why?" and then I realized that was in fact Halloween that day. We really do need to get out of Utah don't we. Your kids are darling!
Andrew's pea costume is super cute! Rachel too! Happy Halloween!
How crazy that both Rachel Faye and Allie were both Dorothys. . .double cuteness!
Rachel's costume is adorable! We had a similar long Halloween weekend. It was fun! And we went trick-or-treating on Sunday too.
