Halloween 2014.

Happy Halloween....2 weeks late :)  I feel like I say "late" every post some I'm gonna stop.  We will all just assume I am always late writing posts.

To kick off Halloween, the past two years we have carved pumpkins together.  This year Lindsay hosted.  We ate a boston butt and carved pumpkins, always a good time!



This year was Gage's 2nd Halloween and Lyla's first!  Gage was a fisherman (after much deliberation about being a dinosaur or cowboy) and Lyla was Little Red Riding Hood one night and just cute the next, ha!

As always, we went to my moms church for Trunk-or-Treat.  Gage had a blast going to all the trunks and getting candy.



All the cousins at Trunk-or-Treat.

Lil' Red Riding Hood, Lyla


On actual Halloween we went to Kari and Dan's house.  Erik was under the weather so I took the kids.  We went around to several houses near Kari and Dan's.  Gage could have cared less about going up to the houses, he just wanted candy.  In fact, at the second house, he sat right down on the peoples porch and ate the twix that they gave him.  Lord.

We had to stop by and see all the cousins dressed up before we went trick-or-treating with friends :)
