Halloween

Halloween was an exhausting day. We started the day at the pumpkin patch. Katie, Paul, Nora, Aunt Shelly, and Gavin all let us tag along on their outing. The kids had a great day playing in the corn, playing in the corn maze, going on a hayride, and picking out their very own pumpkins.Don't you love the picture? Paul took it and did such a great job!

Tammy and I were able to fit in a trip out to Samantha's grave. We were surprised to find that her headstone came in. It really did look beautiful. Tammy and I had to leave a mark on her grave for Halloween. She loved it so much and we wanted to do something for her. Tammy brought a fake headstone (which had a big skull and RIP on it) a luminary, and I brought a small pumpkin with a light in it. It looked nice and I know she would have loved it. Tammy made sure to go back early on Sunday morning, so no one would be offended.

We came back home and got ready to go trick or treating. We were completely unaware how BIG Halloween is here in New Mexico. We literally had hundreds of trick or treaters. It was so crazy we could barely get out of our neighborhood in time for the ward Trunk or Treat Party. We went to the party where the kids got even more candy that they didn't need. It was a fun filled and exhausting day!
