Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year. It was a fun year since Jack was a little older and could go trick or treating.
We started out the day by going to the church for a Halloween carnival.
This is Jack being a scary spider.At the carnival he kept following Buzz Lightyear around, he loves Buzz.
Later that day we went and picked Dad up and headed downtown to start trick or treating. The different stores had someone outside handing out treats! It was a great way for Jack to get lots of treats in a short amount of time.
Jack got the hang of it pretty quick.
Jane and Jack got distracted by the scary monkey head in one of the windows.

He was pretty cute holding his bag up high for them to place the treat inside.
He was also very patient waiting in line for his turn.
Of course since we were downtown he had to ride the horses.
Then we ate dinner and headed over to the church for the trunk-or-treat. We got there a little late so it was ending but Jack managed to get even more candy.

I wanted Jack to knock on at least one door, so we took him to our friends, John & Natalie. He loved thier house and made himself right at home.
Getting calls from our family in Utah was a great way to end the night! Jack was surprisingly talkative and didn't want to put the phone down.
I told him to be a scary spider and get Uncle Andy, so this is him tickling the phone.
We had a great time, we missed not being able to show Jack off to our family, but we are thankful for our friends here in Kansas that make our holidays great!
