Halloween Trunk-or-Treat

Our family headed out in the freezing, 40 degree weather this evening to participate in our ward's annual, trunk-or-treat.  Knowing that this activity finishes in the blink of an eye, we got there early and actually waited a few minutes until the magical hour of 6:30 arrived.  The kids then had a grand time going from car to car, collecting candy for the first time this holiday season.  We all headed home a little after 7 pm, frozen to the bone.  I'm grateful that we still have the opportunity to enjoy this fun tradition with all four of our kids!


Lia, Logan, Emmett, and Ella all dressed up and ready to go.

This is the third time in ten years that Lia and her friend, Suzette, have chosen to dress up as the same character for Halloween without coordinating it in advance!  They both dressed up as Elsa in 1st grade, Hermione Granger in 4th grade, and as Wednesday Adams this year.  Lia wore the traditional Wednesday dress and Suzette wore her formal dance dress from the new, TV series on Netflix.  Regardless, it was so fun to see these girls pose together with their best "Wednesday Adam's look" on their faces for a picture this evening.


We were also surprised to find Emmett's good friend, Danny, dressed up in a Star Wars costume with the rest of his family.  Since Emmett is Kylo Ren this year, we had to get a picture with Danny and his brothers.

We always get a kick out of seeing how people decorate their car trunks.  Since Ella had just performed in the Matilda musical this past summer, she was super excited to find a woman dressed up as Miss Trunchbull with her car trunk decorated as the chokey.
