halloween

We had a great time celebrating Halloween this year! Even though it wasn't Emily's first Halloween, it felt like it since we didn't end up dressing up last year. We decided to go with the robber/money bag theme, which seemed to be pretty popular this year from what I've seen on Facebook :) But at least no one else in our ward did the same thing... that would have been embarrassing ;) We had a lot of fun at the trunk or treat last Friday. We decorated our car as a jail cell with wanted signs of me and Grant. The kids in the ward had a lot of fun looking for policemen to come arrest us so they could get the reward money. Grant ended up spending most of the time in the back of the car acting like he'd been caught :) We also decided last minute to decorate the side of the car as the crime scene. We made a safe that had been broken into. It was fun! Here are some pics:








We weren't able to get the best pictures of Emily in her outfit because she was either cranky or not wanting to stand still, so here's what we have to work with...





Wednesday night, we did a Halloween dinner at my parents' house. Fleming and I started working at 1:30 and weren't done til around 6:30. Thanks mom for taking on the babysitting duties! We definitely outdid ourselves from last year! There were a few pinterest fails along the way, but we're happy with the way most of it turned out!





We didn't dress up Halloween night, because we didn't think it was worth it to take Emily trick-or-treating this year. We did go to a block party, though, and that was a lot of fun! And Emily wore her Halloween bow to celebrate the holiday:


We hope everyone else had a great Halloween!
