It has been getting a little cold here in Rexburg. And Connor has had to stay bundled up. But Halloween weekend was a little warmer so we were able to enjoy it even more.
Our Halloween activities began Friday night when Connor showed off his rolling talents while we carved pumpkins.
Connor really enjoyed watching for awhile. And then he wanted a piece of the action.
It was pretty slimy!
Shea did lots of the dirty work, scooping out pumpkin guts in the beginning. But we both carved. And I was pretty impressed since it was our first attempts. It was lots of fun and making traditions like these now that we will probably do forever is so exciting. We feel like a real family with Connor now and it makes everything more special.
Saturday Connor got all dressed up and we went to FatCats (movie theater/bowling place) that was hosting a trunk or treat. Well that is what we heard from our bishop, our ward doesn't have enough kids to do one so he recommended FatCats. It was pretty lame. It ended up being an advertisement thing, you get a flyer and a piece of candy, for each little booth. We bought lots of candy so we could hand it out and we didn't get a chance, we wanted to show off Connor and see kids costumes but the trunk or treat was not what we were expecting so we went in and out pretty fast.
Connor was enjoying his fingers. While we were strolling around. He was fascinated by the wild costumes the kids were wearing. And we saw lots of parents dressed up too. Shea and I wished we had dressed up, and had some fun party to go to with Connor. But maybe next year that will happen.
Connor and Daddy got to snuggle lots, because it was a little chilly.
We went to a little party at Shea's parents, where we got to binge on all our candy. We played a zombie game Shea had bought and just enjoyed hanging out with the family. Connor's cousin Jonas was there, so they got to play. Connor was showing off his sitting up abilities while staring intently at Jonas's stripes. Jonas was such a cute tiger!
We had so much fun. I love holidays. And I love that Shea enjoys my celebratory nature.
Connor was a scary skeleton. His costume glowed in the dark. It was fun. But by the end of the night Connor was cranky and tired.
We were so happy to have such a nice Halloween with Connor, we tried to make it special since this is his first.
We came home and our pumpkins were glowing so bright and they looked so good for us first timers. I was excited to see our glowing pumpkins. I felt so festive, Especially since last year we didn't do anything but watch scary movies and wait for trick or treaters that never came.
When we got back Connor was exhausted. It had been one long day. We put him in the swing to change and get ready for bed and he was out in a matter of seconds, just staring up at those bears that he's mesmerized by.
Happy Halloween!
