Halloween 2015

Every year it seems I plan out the costumes for the kiddos a year in advance. I was so excited for Andie to be Little Red Riding Hood and Jake to be the Big Bad Wolf. It worked out even better since I didn't have to convince them who these characters were thanks to Super Why!

We started our Halloween festivities by going to my sisters work. Each year we go to her work and it makes it fun for the kiddos to practice their Trick or Treating before actual Halloween night. Andie and Jake both had such a blast running around and getting some little treats while dressed in their costumes.

Next up was Trunk or Treat for our church ward party. Andie and Jake had so much fun going trunk to trunk and after we finished we then went around for a second time but this time handing out treats to each of the trunks. Andie loved that we were able to give back, she may have had to much excitement and face planted into the road, poor girl!

Last but not least was Halloween night (I am so glad each of these events landed on different nights). Andie and Jake were so excited to go Trick or Treating one last time. It was kind of disappointing to Andie as she would go house to house and have to skip quite a bit, not many people are handing out treats it seems. Many times Andie would state "Come on doors, open up" it was so funny! The only bonus of these houses not opening up is after an hour she was ready to go home, plus her basket was full.

We then went over to the hospital to visit one of Zach's patients who was just entered in. Andie and Jake made some peoples nights as they ran into patients rooms (embarrassing for Mom) to show off their costumes. I am glad the patients appreciated our rude entrances as this pregnant Mommy was attempting to chase after her two toddlers, funny sight I am sure!

Halloween is always so fun and especially when you have little joys to enjoy the holiday with. Now I am trying to figure out what to do for costumes for next year, I am completely drawing a blank! Happy Halloween :)
