Our Halloween

We had a fabulous Halloween. Our pictures don't really prove it, but it was such a fun year for the kids. Lily was a beautiful Princess Aurora, (Sleeping Beauty) and Beau was a crime fighting police man, keeping our city safe. He was complete with ticket pad, whistle, radio and badge. (He was sad to not have a gun). We drove over to Proctor when Kyle got home from work and hit the candy parade over there. It was so fun to fill the buckets and get to see the whole community in costume. People are so creative! Then we came home and did a little trick or treating around our house. When we were done a few of our nieghbors joined us for some chili and caramel cheesecake bars. It was so, so fun. I honestly had just not been looking forward to it. I was sure no one would come and all I wanted to do was curl up on the couch with my family and watch the great pumpkin. But as we sat around our kitchen table talking and laughing and sharing stories I just felt so much joy that these were people we could share our lives with and be community with. What a privledge. I don't even really know how to put it into words, but I'm so thankful that we're where we're at this neighborhood and this street is so precious to us. So here's the pictures of the night.

And here is the picture that made the whole night worth it:
