Hallowe'en!

This Hallowe'en was so much fun! A little extra long, it seemed, but still fun. My good friend Sharon offered to make the kids' costumes this year, and just look at how amazing they turned out! She is in one of the last photos with the kids. We just love her! Hannah was a gypsy, Jaxon was a dementor (Harry Potter), Mason was Luigi and Isaac was Mario. We were also so excited this year to have Heidi and Derek and the girls stay with us for a week over Hallowe'en also. So the morning of the 29th, Jared ran his first half marathon and we were soo proud and excited for him! I am going to get a few pictures from Jenna so I can post them here too. Derek and Heidi arrived around 9:30 a.m. and we sat and chatted for a while, while the kids reconnected and played. Later that day Jared and I took the kids and Addie to a Hallowe'en party at the Lowder's in Santa Rosa which had horse rides thanks to Jed and Kalleen, and plenty of games and fun for the kids. After that we headed back to Petaluma for our ward Trunk or Treat. And that was the 29th! We still had 2 more days til Hallowe'en! On Sunday the 30th I took some family photos of Derek and Heidi which I will post a few of here later too. On Monday the 31st, the kids had a fun Hallowe'en parade at school, and then we had a fun evening of Trick or Treating with the Gassers and Sharon also. For a few days after Hallowe'en we had very sick kids, so Heidi and I stayed home and relaxed and enjoyed each other's company! It was soo nice! I miss that girl. Enjoy these fun photos from Hallowe'en!
