Halloween

We did just about everything for Halloween this year - except, that is, actually go out ON Halloween to trick-or-treat.

First there was family night at the YMCA. This was Alex's first time in a bouncy house, and our first child who didn't cry his first time in the bouncy house. Alex is the spider, William is the alligator, and Esther is the princess riding a pegasus unicorn. Alex won the costume contest that night.

Next came the party at the Lincoln Children's Museum. Union Bank sponsored an awesome party and invited many of its clients' families. All the residents at LMEP were invited, and we jumped at the chance. Free dinner, free admission to an awesome museum, and lots of free goodies. The kids even each got their own piggie bank.

Lastly, the day before Halloween was the ward trunk-or-treat. So much candy in just one parking lot! Alex was really excited to find out that all he had to do was walk up to people, say, "ti o tee" and they'd put candy in his bucket. He wouldn't let go of that bucket for quite a while afterward.
