This past week our house has been filled with lots of Halloween activities. It all started last Saturday night at out wards Trunk-or Treat! It was a lot of fun and there was a great turn out. Ethan was so excited to be able to wear his cowboy clothes again! Ethan was a cowboy last year and was dead set on being one again, and even I tried to convince him to be something else. But nope! He wanted to be a cowboy, and he said he was a cowboy just like Grandpa Evans! Ciara was a bumblebee fairy. Her costume had cute little wings attached to the back. The kids had fun going on a hay ride, fishing for prizes, getting their face painted, and especially going trunk-or-treating!

Then on Thursday Ethan was able to get dressed back up for his preschool Halloween party. But as usual we were running out the door late and didn't get pictures of him that morning. It takes one longer to get a little cowboy ready in the morning then you would have thought. But don't worry I have plenty of pictures despite that. Ethan sure had fun at preschool. We sure feel blessed that Ethan is able to attend preschool with a wonderful teacher for the second year in a row!
Then Friday was the big night! We had my parents, Casey and Brynn and their kids, and Gabe and Dena and their kids, friends from our ward, over for a Halloween party. When everyone came over we took some great pictures! Don't the kids all look so cute! Ciara had two costumes and her second one was a little purple monster. So I got her all dressed and took pictures and then thought she did not look girly enough and changed her into her bumblebee costume to go trick-or-treating! Then we started round one of our trick or treating. Can you believe that it was so warm that we didn't even need to wear jackets the entire night! Crazy! Ciara loved going trick-or-treating. She loved going up to the doors and her little eyes would get wide with amazement each time they would put candy in her basket. She never got tired the entire evening. I think she would have continued to do it all night if I let her. We all came back home to have chili and stew for dinner. After eating and resting we went back out for round two. The kids got so much candy. Poor Ethan wore cowboy boots all night and by the time we got home his feet were pretty sore. But my kids love to open and look at the candy and then throw it away just to open another one. Oh well!

Ciara's eyes are absolutely gorgeous! What fun costumes, too, for both of them! That cowboy is really creative. I can't believe your kids went out for round two! I was done after only one time out, and I didn't even have my kid with me! (I went with my friend and her kids)
Okay, so now my picture is on your blog. I guess we are even. Thanks so much for letting us spend Halloween with your family. They are all great and we had so much fun.
Okay, so the monster costume is cute. It is not even possible for Ciara to look like a boy! I love the bumblebee too.
Hi Crystal and Seth! It's been too long. I love all the great pictures of the kiddos and you guys look so great. I've been meaning to write and say how sad I am about Grandpa Evans. What an amazing man who brought joy into everyone's life. I loved him so much and will miss him too. I hope you guys are all doing well. Happy Halloween...and soon to be Happy Thanksgiving!
