who invented the trunk or treat?

for halloween we went to the trunk or treat (trick or treating at the cars in the parking lot) for our ward. we met with the other three wards that meet in our building. there were hot dogs, and some silly games for the kids. at 7:oo they started trick or treating, and it was a madhouse. there were kids crowding around the cars to get their candy. it was pretty lame. it seems like the point was to get as much candy with as little effort as possible. when we were kids we had to work for our candy. it was over with by 7:45 or when people started running out of candy. when we got home, dan took annie to some of the houses in our neighborhood to get the real trick or treating experience. we decided that we will probably boycott next year and just do real trick or treating. anyway, annie had a fun time running around with the kids, and getting some candy. the bad part is i had kept some candy at the house for kids to come by later, and we got 5 kids. so now i have a bunch of candy that i will end up eating myself.


here's the cute minnie mouse costume that my mom bought for annie.












she wanted, however, to be spiderman. so this is the final product for halloween. she hung out with all the other little spiderman boys at the party.


eva's first halloween. she didn't seem to care what she dressed up as.


happy halloween!

Your kids look adorable! And I agree--trunk or treat is the dumbest thing EVER.

oh Michele I love that Annie decided to be spiderman and hung out with the little boys. And I'm also glad you resurrected the oompa lumpa costume. I didn't get to dress up this year. . .
