Halloween 2011

This year we had quite the Halloween festivities.  Friday night, Little Ben had a spookfest (a halloween carnival) at his school.  They didn't let them dress up in costumes at school, so this was his only chance to dress up and show his friends at school.  So we dressed up and went and the kids had a lot of fun.  Ben was a clown, Ethan was Thomas the Tank Engine, and Brynna was Tinkerbell.

Then Saturday night we had a Trunk or Treat at our church.  That was tons of fun too!  There is this guy in our ward who is like 7 feet tall (he played volleyball for BYU when he went).  We all wanted to see if Ben's clown shoes were bigger than Lars' shoes.  So they had a contest and after many toe wriggling, Lars won!  Too funny.  They also had face painting and Ethan got a baseball and bat painted onto his face.  (Brynna wasn't interested and Ben's face was already painted.)

Monday was actually Halloween, so we went out again!  Big Ben took the kids trick or treating while I maned the fort (which was lame because we only had 2 people come while he was gone and 5 the whole night).  Brynna and Ethan were very tired and ready to come it, but Little Ben was all for going to a few dozen more neighborhoods :)  Then we ate sugar cookies and drank warm cider then we were off to bed.
