Halloween Night

Halloween night started out pretty rough. We got POURED on at the ward trunk-or-treat, so we huddled together under umbrellas and sloshed through puddles from car to car. It really wasn't too bad, but Preston was SOAKED by the time we were done because he kept running ahead of the umbrellas. But you would never know it by looking at his face; he was just as happy as ever.

We dressed up as Toy Story characters this year: Buzz, Woody, Jessie, Bo Beep, and Little Lamb. I borrowed a lot of the stuff from friends and family. Our good friends in Wyoming even surprised us and shipped us their boots and cowboy belt for Ryan because I couldn't find any his size! We were so grateful. I made Ryan's vest, Addie's chaps, and embroidered Addie's shirt. It was fun getting it all together.

Jessie!

Preston refused to call any of us by our real names that night. He yelled "Bo Peep!" when he wanted me or "Woody!" when he wanted Ryan. Oh, and if you can't tell, he's eating a piece of candy in this picture. This boy LIVES for candy! I don't know what I'm going to do with him.

Probably my favorite part of the night was trick-or-treating house to house along the street where Ryan grew up. It had finally stopped raining and it was dark, just like I remember it when I was a kid.

We visited both Ryan's mom and my parents to show off our costumes and take pictures. Here's another group shot.

Addie knew all the right Jessie poses.
