Halloween Festivities

We stayed very busy this Halloween, and had a lot of fun in the process!

About a week ago, we went to a Halloween Bunko party at some friend's house, and had a BLAST!  We haven't had a night out without Miley in a while, so it is always fun to get some adult time.  :)  We dressed up as a Wyoming football player (me) and a Wyoming cheerleader (Cameron)...ha ha!  Talk about role reversal...

On Friday night, the 29th, we went to the Fall Festival at our church.  There was a chili cook-off, with about 25 different kinds of chili to taste and to vote for your favorite, a pie eating contest, activities for the kids and a costume parade, doughnuts and hot chocolate, and then trunk-or-treat.  I wasn't sure how Miley would react to dressing up in her costume, because when she first got it, she didn't seem too interested.  However, once she put it on, she would not take it off...for two days!  She loved her little witch costume, and loved twirling around in it.  Miley also got the hang of the trunk-or-treat pretty quick and was really excited to find out that all she had to do was ask these people for candy and they would put it in her bucket!

On Saturday morning, we went down to Main Street in Maple Grove where they had a little trick-or-treat thing going on.  It was COLD so we didn't get too many pictures, but Miley again had fun filling her bucket.  At one point, she went into a store with some of her cousins and left Cameron outside holding her bucket.  Next thing you know, Miley was screaming, "BUCCCCKKET!!!" because she realized she needed it to get her treat.  She quickly found Cameron and went back, to make sure she didn't miss out on anything.  She got some candy, and then some other things, like toothbrushes (that should make the orthodontists in the family happy...).  After we finished, we decided to stop into 5 Guys for lunch and to warm up.

Yesterday, on Halloween, we just took it easy, and figured Miley had already gotten enough candy.  We went to Don and Cindy's house for a little Halloween party with our family, and had a spooky dinner, and played some Minute to Win It games.  I need a slap on the wrist for not taking any pictures of this.  :)

Overall, a very fun Halloween.  I definitely think Miley is at the age where she will remember this now, and will be looking forward to this holiday for years to come.  :)
