This is Halloween

We had a very festive Halloween. One Halloween light show, one trunk-or-treat/chili cook-off, loads of pumpkin goodies, and the finale: pizza and Hocus Pocus with our friends, the Stovalls. Ezra adores playing with their daughter, who was dressed as Totoro this year. It was a very fun night. Here's a peek at Ezra's costume this year, Kermit the Frog.

Ward Halloween Party

Wednesday was the Provo Peak 10th Ward Halloween Party. It was awesome. Julia and I made Halloween decorations for FHE with our good neighbors. Then we decorated a door in the church and handed out candy to trick or treaters. Downstairs there were games in the gymnasium including pumpkin bowling and then in the cultural hall there was food and a screen playing a Halloween Alvin & The Chipmuks film.

Julia and I dressed up as Amelia Earhart and the night guard from Night at The Museum 2.
