Halloween

We celebrated Halloween over the course of a whole week. First was the Stout family Halloween party, complete with costume contest, spook alley, and games. Not to mention all of the delicious food, a sampling of which you see above. Yum! The party was so much fun, and we are glad it is now a yearly tradition!

Yeah, the balloons for our grapes costumes didn't last too long. Try nursing a baby with balloons stuck all over your shirt!


This video is of the donut-eating contest

Then several days later we had the Halloween party with my side of the family, where we carved pumpkins and sang Halloween carols (my family has a repertoire of a dozen or so!)

Yum. I am obsessed with delicious food.

Here is the pumpkin Alan carved.

This was the hilarious attempt at getting all of the grandkids on my side of the family together for a picture. Ha ha!

On the Saturday of Halloween, we went to our neighborhood's very rainy trunk or treat. We were planning on taking Jared around to a few neighbors' houses as well, but we ran out of steam.
Maggie loves Halloween. Can't you tell? Jared wore this same costume for his first Halloween.

Jared the Bee. This picture doesn't quite capture the full effect.

How lucky you guys are to live close to both sides of your family! Those both looked like fun parties. Charlotte especially loved the video of Maggie laughing. She giggled right along.

My family does that donut eating contest, too. Your video is a riot! Love that all the adults did it.

I want to hear your family's Halloween songs! That sounds fun! Alan's pumpkin turned out awesome and Maggie is just darling in her pumpkin outfit. Jared makes a sharp bumblebee. Did you make that costume?

I liked your comment about Alan's new kind of seizure. We look forward to seeing you Billies soon!
