Happy Halloween (before Thanksgiving is over)

Halloween is a new and different experience with older kids. It was definitely Avery & Erin's last year for trick or treating. Avery's friend (my second son), Colton came over and spent the night. All the kids came to the church and did the trunk or treating. Erin wouldn't go around, though. I think she was embarrassed - another sure sign it's the end. Our ward was serving chili, so we hung out and had dinner there. Then Kevin and the boys came home, I took Erin to her Halloween party, and Taylor and I kept with the tradition and met cousins over at mom's house.
I don't like this picture much, she looks way too grown up dressed like a devil!!

Here are my cute kids! Colton, Avery Erin and Taylor

The too football players who were trying to look tough. It was funny because two of their friends were at the trunk or treat dressed as cheerleaders. We were laughing about the football players hitting on the cheerleaders. Funny!

I bought Taylor a cute little bride costume thinking she could be a bride or we could turn her into an angel. Of course not!!! She didn't mind being a bride as long as it was a vampire bride!

Here is the cousin crew. It is so much smaller this year - things are changing! Marley was standing over to the side, she didn't want her picture taken. Above is: Hayley, Jaxon, Corbin, Taylor, Jade, Tyler and Jamie. Cute kids!!!!

It is hard when you get to that point. I know, we went through a similar Halloween.

What cute kids! Seeing Colton makes me miss baseball season. Please tell him hello from his "Aunt Stef".

I can't believe kids a and b are too big to trick or treat. That means they're growing up and as am I. Well... maybe not growing up but getting older.

Love you all!!!
