halloween

The kids were thrilled with Halloween.  We had dressed up for Halloween before in New Zealand, but it doesn't get anywhere near the hype that it does in the US.  The kids had a ward Halloween party, a school Halloween party and then actual Halloween.

Max dressed up as a snake, using a costume his cousins Kelly and Stella have both worn many times.

Trent dressed up as a dog.

Maya was a sheep.

They insisted that we decorate the front porch and the kids helped carve pumpkins for the first time.

Three months later we are still eating the Halloween candy.
