We had a very busy Halloween this year! As you can tell from the pictures, this year Matthew was Peter Pan and Lilly was Tinker Bell. I figured my years of coordinating costumes are soon to be over so I better take advantage of the time I have! (I've wanted to dress my kids as Peter Pan and Tinker Bell since, well before I even had kids.)
The Thursday before Halloween we had a mom and tots party with our friends from church. We had home made root beer and all kinds of Halloween goodies. The kids got to dress up in their Halloween costumes and spend the morning playing. We also did a cute Halloween craft.
The Friday before Halloween we had our ward Halloween party. The highlight of the evening for Matthew was the bounce house! I think he would have spent all night in there if I'd have let him! We also had, in my opinion the best decorated trunk for trunk-or-treating! (cobwebs every where and dry ice smoke, lit up pumpkins, it was pretty awesome!) The kids got a ton of candy!
Earlier that day we visited my parents next door neighbors Tom and Judy since they weren't going to be home on Halloween. They always have something cute for the kids...this year however it was practically like Christmas! Not only did they have treats for the kids there were a couple gifts as well! They are seriously the worlds best neighbors!!
The Saturday before Halloween we celebrated Cousin Jonathan's 6th birthday where there was another bounce house. Matthew was in heaven!
Lilly kicking back after a long hard day.
The night before Halloween (Sunday night) we had family home evening and carved pumpkins with my mom and Merrie (my dad came by later he had visiting teaching to do). This was the first year that Matthew actually participated in the pumpkin carving process. He actually drew the face on his pumpkin then Grandma cut it out for him!

On Halloween my Mom and Merrie came over to take the kids trick-or-treating with us. We started in our neighborhood then drove up to my parents neighborhood.
