Halloween 2011

This year I was SO excited for the holiday season to start up, beginning with Halloween. But that all got side tracked with the loss of our Sweet Minnie. We kinda just went through the motions this year. But in the end, it was just what we needed. Well, that is, minus losing my super expensive smart phone....seriously, I lost sleep over it.

But I found my phone. And my holiday spirit.

So here's some pictures of what we did.

 We made caramel apples. It was our first time, and we figured out what will be the better way next year ;) But it was still good and fun. The boys couldn't keep their fingers out of the toppings. We had chocolate chips, almonds, and pecans. YUM!

 We took Luke out to our church's trunk-or-treat. He was a little put off by the fact it was dark. And everyone looked kinda weird - explain that to a 2 year old. But he had a blast running around.

 We tried to get him interested in some of the games, but he really just loved running in circles, dancing to music, and just enjoying the atmosphere.

 This is the one game we got him to play. And really, Matt did all the work, because Luke couldn't keep his eyes of the witch that was helping at the booth. Haha!

 He got his first taste of cotton candy. And it was a hit. But he treated it like a lollipop and would only give it a lick. We stayed for only a bit of the actually trunk-or-treating. I had to work that night and Luke was getting sleepy because it was way past his bedtime.

 Halloween night Luke was a little more prepared to wear his costume. We even put a goatee on him. But let me tell you, it's impossible to paint a mustache on a wiggle boy. Good thing we went out in the dark.

Luke was really unsure of the whole process at first. But once he realized people would give him stuff and tell him how cute he was...things went smoothly. He even figured out how to say "Treat!". Then he'd wave and say "Bye!" and move on to the next house. So cute! Can't wait until next year...he's going to have a blast.
