Halloween - Part 2

Halloween is just so much fun!! We were choosy this year and decided to only do the ward trunk or treat and Halloween night door to door trick or treating. The kids had so much fun! Marley really understood it this year and ran as fast as his little legs could go to each house and car. For the trunk or treat, Gracie was Ariel and even wore the red wig! (surprising but great) Marley didn't want to wear any of the costumes but he would wear his skeleton jammies, which he's is love with. He calls them his glowing jammies. Douglas made us some great pirate costumes. He is so creative and spent many hours at the sewing machine. I'm very grateful for him doing so much otherwise I would have worn my $5 target Halloween shirt.
Halloween night Grandma and Grandpa Williams joined us and we took the kids trick or treating. It was perfect weather with just a chill in the air, and the kids had that giddy Halloween spirit that makes it such a fun holiday. Gracie wore a Tigger outfit instead of Ariel and Marley stuck with his jammies.
That night Gracie said the sweetest prayer. She said," Thank you for this beautiful trick-or-treat day with candy and this beautiful life." It was so real and heartfelt. She really does love this season!
We all had a lot of fun, too much sugar and a much needed extra hour of sleep. Now for the next holiday!
Two pirates, a skeleton and a mermaid, I guess they could all be connected to one story, right?

Douglas did a fabulous job on our costumes. He made his shirt and my hat. The rest we found in our closet. Not too bad for not spending any money.

Marley loved all the candy, he started eating most of it with the wrapper on.


Gracie was so happy, she loved seeing all her friends and all the princesses.


Our crooked family picture. We set the camera on the hood of the car. Oh well, it was a fun night and we're happy Grandma and Grandpa Williams came with us.


So happy it's Halloween!!!!!!
