Halloween is always a fun time. However, I'm finding that with my various ages of children, it can get a little crazy. Halloween day I spent going from school to school for various Halloween parades and parties. Halloween night was the traditional trick-or-treating. Alexa and Bryant were particularly fun as they realized that they were getting candy at each house. Alexa kept running from house to house saying "this is so much fun!" Bryant wanted to eat all the candy as he was getting it - typical of the age. He'd never been given so much at one time. Ashlyn, in her old age, went trick-or-treating and spent the evening with friends. Unfortunately, I didn't even get a picture of her - she was a gangster (from the hood). It rained on and off Halloween day and night, but luckily we got a good hour break for our trick-or-treating.
One of the best parts of Halloween is the candy sorting and trading. My kids do this for days!
After trick-or-treating, we had 4 other families come over for some group sorting and trading, hot chocolate and cider, and a scary movie (a Goosebumps episode which, unfortunately, was a bit too scary). A fun evening and another successful Halloween!

Looks like it was a great night - I loved Dallin's costume - where did you get it? The candy swapping and cider sounded like a perfect way to end the evening!
Looks like a fun night! What a great idea to get together after the trick-or-treating. Your kids look so cute.
I wish it was even remotely (that doesn't look right??) cold enough to think about cider / hot chocolate here. UGGG it was still HOT on Halloween. You should have seen the kids sweating at the school costume parade.....
The kids look adorable. Dallin looks hysterical! Love that costume.
Love the costumes! Great sumo costume...sounds like you had a busy but fun halloween.
it looks like fun! we all miss you guys!!
Fun times! Looks like chaos in the end there, but what better way to spend the evening. The kids were adorable. I look Dallin's face in the group pic.
Love the Halloween pictures. Looks like fun. I hope you are all doing well. Been thinking of you a lot lately.
You always have great ideas, Cami. Having people over after trick or treating... I would've never thought of that, and the trading of the candy... genious. I really would've enjoyed seeing Ashlyn as a gangster from the hood, darn it. Miss you.
