Halloween

Halloween was lots of fun. I especially enjoyed being able to take the kids out trick-or-treating in nice warm weather for the first time in their lives! My mom has her front entry decorated cute for the holidays. My brother Richard cut made the witch and cats you see here. They are backlit at night and looked really cool. Ariana's costume is easy to figure out but Arissa's is unusual...so if you are wondering, she was a barbarian. We went to my sister Lisa's neighborhood in Mesa and went trick or treating with her and her 5 year old son Nate. After that Arissa and Ariana went to Uncle Richie and Aunt Toryi's house and spent the night. Alayna spent Halloween afternoon through the next day at Uncle Aaron and Aunt Liz's house. Saturday afternoon while we were at the Snowflake temple Aaron and Liz took our girls plus their 5 kids plus cousin Emma to the Phoenix Zoo. Brave souls! Dakota hung out at Nanny and Grandpa's all day. The kids had a great time...thanks a bunch to all of you Aunts, Uncle's, Cousins, and grandparents for making this a fun trip!
