Weeks of Halloween

We had a couple of weeks of celebrating the holiday. The weekend prior to Halloween Dave and I went to the Oakland Temple for the evening. Anna went with our friends from the neighboring ward and went to their Halloween Trunk or Treat. Here's the little cutie before hand.

Saturday night we had an adult Halloween Party. I wanted to do something with the belly. (No I did not paint it,) but had a good time using it as a prop.
We had a fun Halloween weekend. Friday night was our church's Trunk or treat. Anna liked playing the games, but her favorite thing was exploring the "pumpkin patch." Cinderella was the belle of the ball... Our great friends brought their "child" to the Trunk or Treat. Here is Winston aka the Fireman.
Saturday, Anna and I went down to the farmer's market (Dave had a retreat all morning) and went trick or treating. There were many fun costumes including a Lego family and many princesses, however Anna's favorite was Mary Poppins dressed to a tee with her parents as Chimney sweeps! Later that evening we carved pumpkins and had pizza, and Anna went to bed early. We were all exhausted, but Dave and I had to finish our carving. Dave was such a cute Daddy and did his to honor Anna. On Halloween night we ate dinner in a pumpkin. It was my first attempt and I think it turned out pretty good!Anna had a great time giving out treats to the Trick or Treaters. She would scream every time the doorbell rang and run to the door! Such a cutie.
All in all it was a great Halloween.

I wanted to try that dinner in a pumpkin thing too but just didn't get the time. Your costume is awesome! Anna looks adorable in her plethora of costumes too. Grace was also Cinderella for Halloween. I keep meaning to call you but my days have been hectic lately with 2 sick kids. Hopefully we'll get to talk soon!

I love your costume. I can't wait to see what your new little one will look like. Maybe not quite so orange and round once out of the womb.
