Halloween 2009 Wrap-up



We had another Halloween celebration that went on and on this year. In all Kai got to wear his costume on 5 different occasions/ days (a Halloween birthday party, a great UT great-grandparents costume tour with Kennedy, Jack and Ella, Halloween story time at the library, the Halloween Program at school, and official Trick or Treating) which I think is great- might as well get good use of them. We also carved & decorated pumpkins, went to an 80's party, Kai made all sorts of cool Halloween crafts at school, and we began the never ending task of raking leaves.

On Halloween we went trick or treating with the Wilkinsons. We went out early for less than an hour and then came back to our house for pizzas in the shape of a pumpkin, a movie, and candy passing out. It was really a great way to do it while our kids will still allow it to be that way. Before we left for trick or treating we video talked with Grandma and Grandpa Whitney over the computer to do a costume fashion show. Then, after trick or treating Grandma and Grandpa Utah stopped by for a quick minute to check out the costumes.

It was a nice Halloween and now we are ready to call it a wrap for another year.

(All year Kai has been talking about this little girl that is his friend at school. Turns out she is Emily King's niece. Emily was one of our good friends at Pepperdine. What are the chances of that? Classic!)

Being grandparents is surely the very best part of life! Thanks for keeping your blog up. Even though we live 6 minutes apart, I spend an inordinate amount of time "looking" at precious pictures. We don't get to be everywhere, so thank you!
