Our Halloween

Before my mom left to go back home she bought the kids pumpkins at a little pumpkin patch. The big kids had fun picking out their pumpkins. Gavin had fun playing in the dirt.

On Tuesday night we went to the ward's trunk-or-treat. Then on Saturday night we went to a Christian church sponsered trunk-or-treat at a local high school. They had jumping castles and this fun hay ride.

This year Makenzi was a Vet, Eli was a Chinese night just like his friend Kevin, and Gavin was Batman. He was so cute running around saying, "Batman to the rescue!" We borrowed a costume for the baby so he was a cute sack of potatoes.

He looks so excited about Halloween!

We carved our pumpkins on Halloween. The boys had a lot of fun playing with the "kid safe" pumpkin carving knives. Gavin thought that he was pretty neat stuff since his parents were letting him play with a knife!

The big kids were excited to carve their own pumpkins this year but it was pretty short lived as it was a lot of work to saw out all of those pieces. Makenzi actually did the majority of her pumpkin all by herself!

Looks like a fun time! Garet is so sweet and cute and that is an adorable costume for a newborn.

It's funny to see your kids in shorts for Halloween. Here the kids had mittens and scarves, umbrellas, and a running car at the end of the driveway.
