Mickey's Trick or Treat Party
We went to Disneyland last week and were able to go to the after hours trick or treat party. We had so much fun!! As you can see we all dressed up for the occasion!
Ricky's parents came with us as well as his brother Ryan, wife Leah and little Briar. It was so fun to go as family. The kids always like to have cousins with them at Disneyland.

We had three pirates who were oh so scary!

Bradley went as Pluto but slept through the getting ready phase. He was worn out!

Three witches! Ellie and Briar looked so cute! This is before the rain washed away all of our makeup.

Me and Ash. He could hardly wait to go and collect his candy!

I was so glad Ricky dressed up this year. It is much more fun when he participates!

This is all of the kids as we came into Disneyland. Ashton had his map looking for candy stations.

Brad was so cute in his Pluto costume! He hopped around happy as could be! After awhile he took off the head and everyone thought he was a pumpkin. I guess that works to.

Ellie fell asleep around 9:00. She was done. After the fireworks Ashton sat in the stroller and fell asleep in about 2 seconds. The rest of us toughed it out until 11:00.

Briar and her daddy! Ryan bought a mad hatter hat that was AWESOME!

This is my favorite picture from the night. These bags are FULL of candy! The way it works is that they have stations where you get candy. There are three stops at each station and they give you handfuls of candy bars at all three stops. Well, Bill and the boys went around to every station five or six or seven times. Brax and Burke literally could not carry their bags of candy. We came home with, for reals, 35 pounds of candy. This will be one of my favorite memories forever!!

Bake Sale!!
About a week and a half ago we had a bake sale for the kids to earn spending money for Disneyland. They have been waiting for this for months, so I finally got my act together and got baking. It turned out so well!! We had lots and lots of people come and got to visit with friends we haven't seen in a long time. Thank you to all our friends and neighbors who made this a great success!!
