Halloween Wrap Up

Halloween was so much fun this year.  The kids were the best age to enjoy the activities and understand what we were doing.  Every year we do trunk or treat at our church and the stop off at Jay's parent's house to trick or treat.  Trey decided back in August he wanted to be the big bad wolf, so we decided Charlotte would be little red riding hood.  Somehow we got roped into Jay being the huntsman and I was the grandma of the folktale. 

Each year my mom (Nana) makes the kids' costumes and mails them to us.  The kids were so excited to get their package and try on their costumes.  Nana even sent face paint so that Jay could put whiskers and fur on Trey's face.  Nana and Papa decided to drive up and surprise us at church to see everyone dressed up for Halloween.

 Jay and I are aware we didn't do much for our costumes, but the kids didn't care.

We saw lots of friends at church, including baby Charlie. 

Lots of the cars at church had games and activities to go with their decorated trunks.  Trey enjoyed shooting baskets to get candy.

This car was decorated as "Candy Land" so you had to walk through the game board to get the candy bowl. 

They both enjoyed picking ducks.  Whatever number was at the bottom of the duck was the amount of candy pieces you could pick.

The kids loved trunk or treating with Nana and Papa!

Whenever they got to pick their candy from the bowls, both kids chose lollipops. 

The local pumpkin patch near our church let the church borrow this "train" ride for Halloween night.  Trey wouldn't ride in it last year at the pumpkin patch, but he was eager to ride this year.  Charlotte rode last year when she was just 21 months old, but this year she did not want to get in!

The tractor train did a lap around the lower parking lot.

We had a dinner of hot dogs and popcorn at church and the kids couldn't wait to dive into their lollipops.  Charlotte had one bite of her hot dog bun and said, "Mommy I ate some of my bun, can I have my lollipop now?"

I didn't take any pictures of our last stop at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  The kids had a blast on Halloween night and are looking forward to the rest of the holidays coming up!
