Halloween 2009 - Part I

Our Halloween Part I consists of our church's "Trunk-or-Treat". We always have a big party at the church the Wednesday night preceding Halloween. There is a chili cook-off (and this year there were like 20 chilis!), games for the kids, a costume parade and then trick or treating in the parking lot (thus the "trunks"). We invited our neighbors, the Prietos, to come. It was fun!

All the kids before the party: Ava, Peyton, Emma, Jordyn, Lyric, Paxton and Lexi

Our three girls: Jordyn was a Geisha, Lexi was a ballerina, and Peyton was a butterfly




This is such a typical photo of Peyton and Packy. Always looking a bit suspicious, always a little non-conformative and nearly always fighting. But love each other devotedly. It's complicated to be 2/3 years old!

Tucker was the hit of the party. His buddy, Keith Lorang, and him like to banter quite a bit back and forth. All in great fun. Keith is about 20 years older than Tucker and they have also been work-out buddies before. Keith's arms get pretty huge, so Tucker dressed up as Keith and it was hilarious! Everyone got quite a kick out of it. On his back, there was a big "LORANG" just in case anyone didn't get it.




My mom came, Lindy and Mike were there and then our neighbors the Prietos.


I didn't dress up for the halloween party, but the next day I needed to dress up for work at Trinkets and Treasures, so this is my 80's outfit. The funny part is It hink many people just thought that was my style because it's coming back in (barf)!
