HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

This year, Halloween was exhausting! Before the big day even hit, the kids had multiple parties at school and daycare, a carnival, and an office trick-or-treating at my work. When Halloween actually came around, the excitement had worn off...which was great for mom and dad! :-) Nik wore the same fireman costume as last year and Mikel wanted to be a queen. Baylee went to Elko to spend time with her other family, but dressed as a zombie prom-queen.

Mikel and I went trick-or-treating to a few houses that night, but mostly stayed in and handed out candy. We made hot chocolate and watched Twitches while waiting for kids to arrive. She liked everyone telling her how beautiful she was, but got seriously offended if they said she was a princess rather than a queen...you would think she was really a part of the royal family!

Since so much had already been done, Aaron took Nik to his first Utes game that night and he LOVED it! He talked for days about how much he liked seeing the football guys tacking each other and the players running onto the field through the smoke. But his favorite was getting to yell with the crowd as loud as he wanted. He made it though the first half and then they came home - not bad for 3 years old.
