Trunk-or-Treat!

Tonight was our ward's trunk-or-treat event at the church.  Since our ward boundaries just changed less than three weeks ago, our bishop decided to keep the entire affair simple since we had no idea who would be left behind in our ward to plan and carry out a large-scale, Halloween party.  So, we just showed up tonight for some donuts and hot chocolate in the gym before heading outside to participate in the trunk-or-treating.  Unfortunately, Ron had to supervise a playoff game for his high school football team and was unable to join us for the first time ever which was a bummer.  I managed to feed the kiddos an early dinner and then got them all ready in their costumes.  Lia chose to dress up as Rey from the new Star Wars movie, Logan decided to wear his pirate costume (of course), and Ella went back and forth for quite some time between several Disney princess costumes before settling on Merida.  The three of them looked so darling and we had a great time being together for this Halloween party.  I love how all of my kids are getting old enough to really enjoy and appreciate all of the holidays.  They help to make everything more exciting and special!  Here are some of the pics from the evening...

Since one of the boys from Lia's primary class dressed up as Kylo Ren, we decided that we needed a picture of the two of them even though Lia reminded me that "we don't like each other." (She was referring to their relationship in the movie and not in real life.  It totally made me laugh).  Here is Lia and Winston striking their best Star Wars pose.

The three kiddos stuck together during the entire trunk-or-treating.  Here is Ella getting some candy while her older brother and sister wait for her.
