Halloween 2010

Pumpkin carving! Isabelle was so funny, she didn't know what we were doing. I kept scooping out the seeds and she would put them back in the pumpkin! Silly girl :)





This is the finished product...we decided to do something a little different this year




We had trunk-or-treat at church the Saturday before Halloween and Isabelle was Tinkerbell for that event

Ready to go get candy!!!



We had a very busy Halloween weekend this year. On Saturday, we had an event at church called Trunk-or-Treat. Basically, several of the life groups from the church parked in a big parking lot in the shape of a U. The trunks of the cars are open and full of candy and each car has a game that the kids have to play in order to get some candy. We also had free hot dogs and awesome entertainment. The whole event was free to the public and it was such a success, we expected 5, 000 and had 7,500 people come through!! Most importantly we got to reach out to the community, love them, and invite them to our church. Jeremy helped with the set up of the stage early that morning and I was one of the people walking around and inviting them to a free pancake breakfast at church the next morning. Later we brought Isabelle back to enjoy the festivities. The next day, Jeremy and I worked at the pancake breakfast at church and later took Isabelle trick or treating. She was so hilarious trick or treating. She didn't really get the concept at first. She didn't understand she had to go up, get her candy and go on to the next house. She wanted to hang out at each house, talk to the people, walk around their lawn, check out their pumpkins, etc. Each house was like a 20 minute ordeal! After a few house she got the hang of it and had a blast. The whole weekend was action packed but a lot of fun!!
