Halloween Festivities

We had a blast celebrating Halloween all month. We went and saw the witches at Gardner Village five times, had a Halloween Party with friends, went to the pumpkin patch, went to a fun Halloween party at the library, did several Halloween crafts, went to Cornbellys and grandma and papa had a fun Halloween Party with all the cousins for us. Halloween Day Sage girl had dance class and got to where her costume. We had a fun Halloween lunch with our friends/neighbors down stairs and then went trick or treating at McKay's work and went and spent the evening with them and with grandma too. We had a yummy dinner and went trick or treating through the neighborhood. Sage and Kaylee had a good time together and had the "trick-or-treat!!" and "thank you" down! Sage always picked the colorful candies so we got lots of taffy and smarties and not much chocolate... she avoided the brown snickers wrappers or orange reeses wrappers, much to my dismay... Our girls were the sweetest cupcakes and Taylor and I were the bakers. They dressed up as a pig and cow for our ward party though because Taylor has to work and I did not have our baker costumes yet, so I wore a flannel shirt and books and called it good. It was such a fun month of celebrating.
