Trunk or Treat

Every year our ward has a Halloween Trunk or Treat. It starts with a potluck soup dinner, includes Halloween games for the kids, a costume parade and of course, ends with trunk or treating in the parking lot.

This year the whole family dressed up and for the first time in about 4 years I wasn't one of the persons in charge! It was very nice and relaxing to just enjoy the party.

the Trunk-------------the Parade

The girls picked their costumes out online. Ashley is pretty cute in her '50s poodle skirt and Paige wanted to be a tiger, but this tiger had to be wearing a dress.

Dave and I went as a pair and I can't believe what a good sport he was. Taking advantage of his size, we but together a Stay Puft marshmallow man costume, which he bravely wore!! I went as a ghostbuster to complete our homage to the 80s movie Ghostbusters. I guess I don't need to tell you Dave got a lot of laughs--what a good sport.

I should also mention that our usual m.o. for trunk or treat is Dave passes out candy and I walk around with the kids. The past couple of years Ashley has opted for walking around with friends so it has just been Paige and I. Well, to my surprise this year, I wasn't wanted! Paige preferred that I keep a safe distance and follow along behind her. My, my we are getting old.
