Ever since we've been in Utah we've gone to the same pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins and take pictures!  (We love Mabeys!)

my pumpkins :)

The BEST thing that happens in October is Sara's birthday!  Our little ghoul turned SIX this year!  (More on that later...)

 

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays!  This year I wasn't as prepared for it as I would have liked to be...something about trying to sell the house and move across the country got in the way.  But here are the kids all done up!

Sam was a grave digger:   

 

Kaeli was a skeleton:

 

Rylie was a rag doll...kind of like the la la loopsie dolls.  Very few people actually knew what she was supposed to be, but I thought she was cute any way:

 Sara was a vampire:

And Violet was a monkey:

Here are the silly trick-or-treaters, minus Sam.  He left early to trick-or-treat with friends:

Here's more pics of the MONSTERS!

It was a lot of fun to take Violet out.  It was the first time she understood the concept of trick-or-treating, and it was so cute!  The weather was unseasonably warm so a lot of our neighbors were sitting out on their porches handing out candy.  It was bitter-sweet for Aaron and me to visit with friends we've had for the past 5 years, knowing that we would be moving soon.  Overall, it was a memorable night!
