Halloween and Raking Leaves

This year Halloween was VERY fun for a few reasons:

#1 The girls each had different costumes this year and I thought they fit their personalities perfectly




#2 We went to our stupid trunk-or-treat for the ward, but then we actually took the girls trick-or-treating in the small neighborhoods and the streets by our house which was very fun and a great way to meet neighbors that aren't members/very active.


#3 Whitney was so excited about Halloween that she started talking in her high excited voice I have only ever heard her use on Christmas morning


#4 Livvy just sat in her stroller all evening and either slept or stared, it was awesome

#5 It was actually warm enough that we didn't wear coats or jackets - need to put that day down in the journal as a reminder when there is three feet of snow on the ground in January

For any of you that have not been to our house, we live on a corner lot and have 5 very large, old trees that run across the front yard and 4 very large, old trees that line the west side of our home. When fall comes and all of the leaves turn beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow I know that it is only a matter of weeks until our yard is absolutely covered with said leaves and that if they aren't raked up before it rains/snows they won't get raked up until Spring. Jeremy had the whole yard raked in an hour or two and thought it would be fun to bury the girls






Don't you love the faces they are pulling? Cracked me right up when Jer showed me the pictures!
