halloween time...

this year we celebrated halloween a couple different times.  to start off we went to our own ward's trunk-or-treat.  daniel dressed in his dalmation costume and david wore his mummy costume.  daniel just wanted to run around the church the whole time.  but we did finally convince him to put on the dog costume for a minute to trunk or treat a little...

the next week we went to trunk or treat with chris' office staff and their ward.  it was really fun.  they had chili, carnival games, and then trunk or treat.  daniel didn't have interest in getting more candy.  he just wanted to run around.  david looked super cute dressed in a little cow costume.

the night before halloween my cousins had a big party at april's house.  amy made this brain looking cake and april made meatloaf hands.... i made kitty litter poop fudge.  and other treats.  it was a fun night... daniel had a blast just running around the house and backyard all night.

then halloween night we had all my family over for a party at our house.  my neighborhood is famous for crazy halloweens... decorations galore... extreme even... tons of people... like 500+ trick or treaters... we had all my family over.  we started with soups and bread. the kids had a blast on the trampoline.  chris strung christmas lights around the top.  they jumped a ton throughout the night.  

all our little babies looked super cute too.... 4 babies in 5 months... pretty crazy...

these little boys were excited for candy... daniel refused to wear a costume...

john next door gave him this huge candy bar and thats all he wanted the rest of the night so we quit early...

chris and dad passed out candy all night... just sat at the edge of the driveway and passed out one to each person that came by.  seriously went through a ton of candy.

daniel eventually got naked and just played with his golf clubs in the bushes... in just his nighttime diaper... yep   we are awesome like that... 

one of like 2 houses daniel trick or treated to

this is the pirate house... he has this huge ship he sets up out of wood pallets... and what not... seriously awesome. 

my friend melanie made this little haunted house in front of her garage that you walk through to get the candy.. creepy and awesome

this is her graveyard on the other partof the yard

this is just an example of how others go all out and decorate...

and this gives you an idea of how many people were in the streets.... including lots of drunk adults just enjoying the block party... 

more extreme decorations...

it was a really fun halloween.... glad we got to experience this neighborhood and it definitely lived up to the hype of its craziness...
