Our family celebrated Halloween three nights in a row. Our Halloween festivities started on Thursday Night with our ward Fall Festival. This party was a big production. It went from 6-9. There was a carnival for all the children. The kids won tickets for how well they did at each booth. Reagan only cheated a few times. He wouldn't stand behind the lines like he was supposed to. He knew the best ways to get the rings or balls where they were supposed to go. He was smart enough to know if he stood where the YM/YW told him to stand he wouldn't win any tickets. Reagan won enough tickets to buy a puzzle. After the carnival there was a chili cook off. My chili was the winner! When everyone had enough food we all moved outside and started the Trunk or Treat. There was a great turn out for this party. I would guess there was about 300 people.
On Halloween Night we had our second party. One family in our ward invited about 6 families over to their house. We all took the children trick or treating together. We only took the kids to about 10 houses since they had all done the trunk or treat the night before. One of the men at the party owns a pizza restaurant. He makes some of the best pizza I have ever had. The guy won the Iron chef for Texas. Anyways we ate pizza, played games and visited while the children made lots of messes. We had tons of fun at the party.
Tonight was the last night we had Halloween plans. I take Reagan to the Library every week for story time. He loves it! The last few weeks they have been advertising the Halloween party they put on at the community center. We watched another little boy today. So we took Reagan and the other little boy to the party. The party was a huge carnival. After participating at each booth you got a little toy. They also had some rooms where they told scary stories. The boys were a little too young for the carnival but they had fun anyways.
I made a little video of the pictures I took that last few days. I hope that you enjoy it. I had a difficult time finding a song that I own that sounds like Halloween. This was the best one I could find.
