Halloween Fun

I met up with all the girls in my family for Witch's Night Out at Gardner Village.  I live just around the corner so I've walked over there with the boys a couple of times and always love shopping and browsing through the boutiques. Gardner Village goes all out for Halloween and decorates the entire place with pumpkins and life-size automated witches everywhere and then two nights in October they have a Witch's Night Out where you can dress up in your best witch costume and walk around the shops. I went to the first night with my Mom and our friend Ruby and we went the second night with my sister, sister-in-law, nieces and Mom.  We had a blast!

My parents had a Halloween FHE at their house and all my siblings and nieces and nephews came. We ate dinner, the cousins decorated Halloween cupcakes, and chowed down on Halloween candy. 
 My Dad is a big Halloween fan and decorates his house with all these scary ghosts and skeletons. He's made moving candelabras, skeletons that come out of coffins, ghosts that fly around the yard, and floating ghosts in the windows. It's pretty impressive! This year he had a machine that made fog bubbles and the cousins had a blast popping them and releasing the fog.
 We tried to take a cousin picture in their costumes. I think we were only missing Cole. He wandered off when we were trying to get everyone to hold still for the pictures. 
Addy-Ladybug, Mckenna-Witch, Parker-Skeleton, Aubrey-Tinkerbell, Halle-Spanish Dancer, Hayden-Mr. Incredible, Blake-Cow, Ethan-Lion, Tucker-Bat, Austin-Winnie the Pooh 
We also got the cutest pictures of the two littlest members of our family. Addy and Austin were so cute in their costumes. Austin would tug on her tights and Addy pulled on his ears.  
 We tried to take a brothers picture...this was a close as we got since they were both getting tired. 
 We took them trick-or-treating at Dan's work and a trunk-or-treat at church and they came back with so much candy that it'll take months to eat it all!
It was a great Halloween!
