We returned from AZ early Sunday morning (October 30th)...in preparation for all the fun Halloween festivities ahead. That evening, I hosted our annual family Halloween dinner and pumpkin carving party. This has become a tradition over the past few years and it very well may be my favorite part of Halloween. Halloween, in general, is not my most favorite holiday. I never really enjoyed dressing up...until now. It's fun to get a little creative when everyone else is dressing up too. I still haven't convinced Jeff to join us though. This year, I also added a little Halloween scavenger hunt for Carter and Jonas. Nothing big; just a little something extra.
The next day was Halloween. We started our day with some spooky pancakes. That afternoon, Jonas had his school's Halloween parade and I got to help with his class party. He played bingo, listened to a ghost story, and made a little ghost. That evening, we indulged on our traditional Jack-o-lantern pizza before attending the trunk-or-treat. We were lucky enough to have Casey, Carter, and Everly join us. Jonas found his friends and took off. I think he was less concerned with candy (thankfully!) and more concerned with playing. Although, he did make sure to grab a donut as he ran around. Carter was super cute. At first, he didn't understand the concept. He was given a candy then at the next car, he gave that candy to them. Once he realized that he got to keep the candy, he was pretty happy. We didn't have a bag for him so his little hands got full pretty fast. When we asked if he was done after about a half a dozen cars, he simply said, "More!" We got him a few more things before we finished. I can't believe another Halloween has come and gone! Until next year...
