Halloween Night.

Last night was about the perfect night to go trick or treating considering we'd had freezing temperatures overnight lately. It was comfortable and a fun night for all. We took the requisite Halloween pictures...

(I like his own face better!)

Daddy showed Jackson how to pose.

After getting the pictures taken, I had to run Jillie to her friend's house across town. You see she's much too old to trick or treat with her family now. Much more fun with friends from school.

I returned home to take Pirate ReaRea, Kobe Wan Kenobi. and our BYU Football JackJack out trick or treating in our neighborhood. Even though it was 6pm, it seemed too early to go out since it was still so light outside thanks to not having the time change until Saturday night.

They lined up so nicely at this house I had to take a picture... (just so happens Buffalo Bills football player Rian Lindell opened the door as I snapped the picture.)

An Orchard Park fire truck came through the neighborhood to add to the fun of the night. I forgot I had the nighttime setting on my camera, but I think this picture turned out very interesting. See the"Orchard Park" floating at the top?

While I was out with the kids, Greg was home having some fun of his own. He was all spooked out for the trick or treaters with a fog machine, black light, strobe lights and spooky sound effects. With the candy he also passed out light up pens.... those were a huge hit. He had well over 80 kids. He also entertained the missionaries from our ward. Not much a missionary can do on Halloween night! The kids enjoyed hanging out with the missionaries when we got back too.

And of course there was the candy sort & exchange. I wish my kids had the chance to do what their cousins did with their Halloween candy. I've eaten WAY too many of those goodies!

(FYI- Jillie did her own post about her Halloween here)
