Happy Halloween

Iowa is odd.

We don't trick or treat on Halloween. Instead we do it the night before on Hallows Eve.

So last night was the big night.

Tom and I actually dressed up.

Shocking.

And Caleb once had a cute little nose and whiskers, but he took care of that on the car ride over to the Greenwood's (a wonderful couple in our ward who invited us over for dinner and trick or treating fun in their neighborhood).

The crazy Halloweeners!

Left to right: Hannah, Jens, Suzie, Collin, Talin, Jack & Ian.

And I had to put in Elizabeth's big butt.

She's been dieting for years, to no avail.

The Little Families

Starting with us.

Being a Jedi really brings out Talin's wild side. And Collin was more or less channeling Flash from The Incredibles. He ran from house to house with super speed. While Talin was the last one collecting candy at each home because he stayed back with the little ones to make sure they made it to the door to collect as well. So tender... so opposite of his brother!

The Bishops

The Greenwood's are Elizabeth's parents, they are the neatest, funnest family.

Todd, Jack, Ian, Jens & Elizabeth

The Squires Family

They are our kindred spirits hailing from AZ as well.

Betsy, Hannah, Chad & Suzie

Going through the goods after a long night of hard work.

Apparently Tom found something good!
