Halloween Festivities

What a weekend! Well, technically it was the whole week, but we'll focus on the tail end of it. We started our Halloween festivities Thursday night with a little punkin carving. Berkley drew up her own pumpkin design and was especially excited!

.

Wait... What's that she's holding? It's too small to be Maddie or Maisy. Meet Hansel...

.

Isn't he incredibly adorable?! I could just bite those ears.

.

Back to the pumpkin carving... Berkley was so proud of her pumpkin...

.

And I was easily distracted...

.

Lord. Help. Me.

.

We took our finished pumpkin to Beth and Brett's, since we wouldn't be home for Halloween.

.

In case you didn't gather- the pumpkin was totally Gavin's idea!

.

Saturday night, we continued the celebration at Beth and Brett's. They organized a trick-or-treating get-together.

.

Complete with hot dogs and a hayride!

.

The guys were nice enough to take all of the kids around the neighborhood to trick-or-treat. This has seriously got to be the best way to get the job done. Quick, efficient, and fun!

.

While riding, we saw some pretty scary costumes. Lilli had a great way to avoid them...

.

Sawyer doesn't look to amused, but we were definitely amused by him. He was the cutest turkey I've ever seen!

.

When we returned from the hayride, Berkley was excited to show Gavin her loot...

.

Sunday night, we headed to church for the fall festival. Deacon was done with the whole being a tiger thing, so he borrowed one of Berkley's old costumes...

.

And was one of the cutest monkeys I've ever seen. Even if he didn't like the ears...

.

The fall festival was complete with pig races...

.

And pony rides...

.

And slides...

.

And we finished up with a little trunk-or-treating...

.

We had a great time celebrating Halloween! It's such a fun day and one of my favorite holidays. I'm already looking forward to next year!
