All That is Halloween

On Sunday our church hosted their annual Harvest Festival. It was lots of fun hanging out with old friends!! On Monday evening (Halloween) we headed over to our favorite red headed family's home for some pizza and then it was off to trick or treat! Here are some photos representing what we did-enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

The boys have been wearing costumes since they were babies and couldn't even remember them. Nathan's first costume was a pumpkin (at one month). Jason's first costume was a baby chick- so cute!! This year was the first time they got the whole experience. After the third annual Baxter Halloween Party- we set out to trick or treat in the Colony neighborhood. We were joined by a large group of old and new friends and were out for about an hour. This was the first time the boys had really trick or treated. They had such a wonderful time and said over and over how much fun they were having. They scored lots of candy (half of it already given away again) and saw lots of fun houses and costumes. I am glad I waited till they were this age so they could really appreciate the joy of the evening. I look forward to the years to come!!

Jason as Iron Man (with and without mask). This costume was handed down from Nathan, but Jason loves it. He has been wearing it all year long. Jason cracked everyone up tonight as he trick or treated- he would sing songs for the houses he went up to and did funny dances- he is a character!!

Nathan as Harry Potter. He had so much fun wearing this costume. He and his friend Pasqualle went to a Halloween party at their school Friday night and he got to wear the costume then too. I have a feeling he may be this in years to come as well.
