Halloween 2015

For the 3rd year in a row we had the Uithoven family over for dinner and then trick-or-treating. This year the Shinar family joined us along with our new neighbors. Our neighborhood is so great for trick-or-treating. People sit in chairs on their driveways passing out candy. It is very kid friendly. After going up and down our street, we make our way back to our house. The kids go through their candy picking their favorite 20 pieces and then pass out the rest of their candy. I think that the kids have more fun passing out candy than getting candy. 

Matt spent 2 hours carving this pumpkin of Darth Vader to go along with our costumes and theme. It took a lot of patience, but he did an amazing job. 

Grace, Rylie, Derek and Charlie passing out the candy.

 Spotted this authentic storm trooper in our neighborhood.....

 The 2 pumpkins we carved this year. Sadly, pumpkins here in AZ do not last long at all so all of Matt's hard work was only enjoyed for 2 days and then the pumpkin started to rot......

 Making some treats for our friends to enjoy

 Of course we went shopping (one of Grammy's favorite things to do)....shopping at Sprouts.

Trunk-or-Treat 2015

This year our family went with a Star Wars theme. It was the first time that Matt and I had dressed up with the kids and it was super fun. We got lots of compliments on our costumes! We played Star Wars music the whole night too, which was fun to listen to as we passed out candy. After passing the candy out we said, "May the force be with you."
