Another year with all the fun Halloween festivities here in Iowa.
We started it all off with a trip to Night Eyes at the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines. They put up Halloween decorations and dress in costumes to hand out candy to all the kids. It will be another great memory of our time here in Iowa.
Next, we carved our pumpkins and we were lucky enough to have Nanna here with us!!!
We finally got Brooklyn to get her hands dirty and get the pumpkin "guts" out, but Landon NO WAY. He would have nothing to do with those things, it was too weird for him. All he wanted to do was sit on them.
Here in Iowa we have what is called Beggars Night. Is it the night before Halloween and it is specifically designated for kids to do their Trick-or-Treating, so that the older people and parents can go out on Halloween to party. I still don't know exactly why they do it that way, but they do. So, we took the kids around on the 30th to knock on doors and then on the 31st we had our ward Halloween party and a Trunk-or-Treat.
When we got to the ward party no one recognized Christian, especially with his killer tattoos!!!
Even the bishop had to take a double take to figure out who he was.
We had a blast dressing up as a family and look forward to dressing up again next year...
any ideas?
