Halloween!

The kids had a great Halloween this year! Alex was Buzz Lightyear (as if there were any doubt) and Aurora was a Jester like her daddy!

The day started with Grandma S. coming over and presenting them with "Best Costume" awards and their first bit of candy! Then we got the kids dressed up and went to Aurora's Hip Hip class, where she performed "Thriller" for us! She did a great job and was so proud of herself. I am proud of her too! Here's the video:

In the afternoon we dressed the kids up again and went to see Grandma and Grandpa K. and Auntie Charissa. By the time all of this was done their buckets were already full!

We ran home to empty the buckets and then we joined Megan and the boys for Trick or Treating! We roamed the streets with Buzz, two jesters, a rat, and a skunk! The kids were so cute - Alex would keep saying "Trick or Treat!" from the time they opened the door until he got his candy. Then they both would say "Thank you" at the end. Alex lasted about an hour before he started getting tired so we went back to the house while the others did a bit more. He had just as much fun handing out candy as he did getting it! And he was very generous too - he gave out huge handfuls!

Aurora came back with even more candy and was very pleased. We got home, handed out a bit more candy, and then everyone crashed for the night!
