For Halloween this year, we went to our church's ward party. Each family brought chili or soup, and we ate and socialized with everyone. They had cupcake decorating, face painting, and a guessing jar full of candy for the kids. They had a costume judging contest, and our family won!!! Second year in a row that we have taken first place. Last year, we did The Peter Pan theme. This year we did The Wizard of Oz theme. Call me a kid - but I love it - it's so fun!!!
Then, we had trunk or treat outside the church. After that, we took the kids trick or treating with a few families in our ward. We drove to a big neighborhood in town, this neighborhood goes all out. They really decorate their houses for Halloween; one family even made a haunted house out of their garage for all of the kids to go through. The kids scored LOTS of candy (so we all have been eating it for weeks) We were very lucky again, even though it had been pouring all day long, it cleared up a bit so we could trick or treat without getting drenched!! Yay!!
