Halloween

I have always loved Halloween, but I had no idea how fun it could be once you had children. Jonathan, who is typically very reserved and hides behind my legs around strangers, eagerly ran up door to door and said, "Teat." and once he had received it said very quietly, "Tank-Ewe." Because he has such a little voice, at one door the lady said, "What do you say," and he said, "Pease." At another door, the lady that answered said, "Hi!" in a kind-of sing song high pitched way, and Jonathan promptly said, "Hi!" in the exact same high pitched kind of voice. He was really good about not eating all of his candy at once or even asking for it. He had a sucker while we walked around, and maybe one other piece when we got home. 

 David is wearing his snowsuit. It worked out because he looked like a dinosaur. 


 We live right across the street from a group of town homes. It was really fun to have so many houses in such a little space. Perfect for a two year old. They are also in our ward, so it was wonderful to not only know all the other trick-or-treaters but to also know most of the people who answered the doors. I just love Rexburg for things like this.
 Jonathan wanted to take the lids off of all the pumpkins.

Jonathan was dressed as a puppy. My mom has made some beautiful costumes in a variety of sizes. It is always fun to see which one he will fit into.
 

Pumpkin




Edmund and Jonathan carved a pumpkin together. Jonathan was not interested in putting his hand or even touching the insides. However, he loved lighting and blowing out the pumpkin candles,
