My sister Rachael and cousin Amy came over for a quick visit. Rachael had seen Braeden the day he was born, but then had to go out of town for work till last night.
Michelle was feeling pretty good by the late afternoon so we decided to take the kids, Nettie, and Aubrey to Dy and Brett's ward Trunk or Treat. We bought this cute monster outfit for Braeden to wear. We didn't plan on bringing him out except to feed during the festivities, but we wanted him to participate in having a costume. Michelle's dad bought a cute puppy costume for Drew at COSTCO. The first time he tried it on he loved it, but then when we got to the actual party he didn't want to put it on.
They had a soup potluck for the dinner portion of the event. There were a lot of chiles entered into the chile contest and then a bunch of other soups to try. I had three different bowls. It was so good, or I was just hungry. When the dinner was over it was time to get the kids ready. I had to force the costume on Drew knowing he might cry for a few moments, but then would be back to normal. We tried to get a picture of all three kids (Braeden was with his mom eating) sitting nicely together in their costumes, but they wouldn't sit still. Luckily the parade was about to start.
Drew was getting tired and had a hard time getting the hang of the trick or treating, but everyone thought he was cute and even if he wouldn't talk they still gave him candy. We almost finished all of the cars, but then he was ready to be done. We let him hang out in the car and eat a little candy. Dy and Brett decorated the back of their car with some fun decorations and the girls passed out a lot of candy to the kids.
It was a great evening a fun way to help celebrate Halloween in a safe way. I'm sure we will still go around our neighborhood on the real day, but what's wrong with going twice to get twice the candy.
