Happy Halloween

This year we had a great time celebrating Halloween.  Whitney was a ballerina fairy and Brooke was a pink cheetah.  First we had a ward party last weekend that turned out to be really fun.  Of course that had to do with me being on the committee and convincing the other members to do what I wanted :)  One old guy was totally against the trunk or treat but for me that was the best part.  We had a dinner of chili and rolls and then the YMYW did little carnival activities, that Whitney loved.  She got her face painted and went fishing and got a prize and tried to eat a donut off a string. 



Here in Utah people did their trick or treating on Saturday.  It poured rain most of the afternoon, and was still raining pretty hard when we left to go trick or treating at the mall.  When we got there it was so packed that it was like Black Friday or something.  People were waiting in long lines to get a tiny little tootsie roll and most stores were out of candy anyways.  So after about 2 stores we left in hopes that the rain would stop.  By the time we got to Brig's grandma's neighborhood the rain had stopped and the skies were clearing.  We like going to her neighborhood because the people that live there are old and most of them were home, also they give out really good candy.  No tiny tootsie rolls, I'm talkin full size candy bars and very generous portions!!!  The girls got soooo much candy that it will take awhile to eat it all, plus the candy we got to give out to our trick-or-treaters (we had three small groups come to our door).
