{Jake's birthday is actually tomorrow, October 29th, but we are heading down to Disneyland for the weekend to attend Mickey Mouse's Halloween Party. It is a surprise to the kids, we can't wait to tell them in the morning and head down. Because we will be in Disneyland for Jake's actual birthday we celebrated it tonight. He opened presents and then we sang and had 'eclairs' and ice cream. I found this awesome place in Tempe that does enormous eclairs and ordered one for his 'cake' this year. Jake isn't a cake fan, but LOVES eclairs, so this was a great surprise and treat for him. This eclair could feed 30 people, it was huge! Happy 31 babe, I love you more than you can imagine!}

{Last night was our Ward Halloween party. It was outside at the neighborhood park. The weather was amazing, we have never been able to spend much time outside during Halloween. The kids didn't have to wear coats, and they played and played! It was about 70 degrees. I made a huge pot of my mom's amazing chili for the chili cook off. The rest of the night consisted of pie eating contest, cup cake walk, face painting, and lots of playing and socializing...Oh, and of course the TRUNK OR TREAT. The kids loved doing the trick-or-treating out of the cars. Jake and I really enjoyed ourselves and enjoyed getting to know our amazing ward better. We feel so blessed. Here are some pics of the kids from last night. Of course I wasn't able to get a decent picture of the kids together in their costumes, but Kaiden was a Transformer, Optimus Prime and Maggie was a Sugar Plum Fairy.}

ReplyDeleteWhat fun! We are saving our pennies for Disneyland next November with Wayne's family. I hope you guys have a good time. Our ward does Trunk or Treat also. At first I thought it was stupid, but it is actually really fun! They get a lot of candy in a short amount of time. Your kids are adorable! Great costumes, so cute.
