Halloween!

Halloween in was one of my favorite holidays growing up, but unfortunately it doesn't really do anything for Mark. We didn't really have anything really planned this year, but we did have a little bit of fun.

A couple of weeks ago we went to the corn maze at Thanksgiving Point with Jeff and Dakota and Logan and Cami. It was really fun, and it was nice to get out and do something fun as married couples.

For Halloween I actually got Mark to dress up TWICE! We went to our ward's Trunk or Treat on Friday night since we teach the sunbeams and thought it would be fun to hand out candy. However, it didn't really end up being a "Trunk or Treat" afterall because they didn't even hand out candy like we thought they were going to. When we got home I finally decided to carve our pumpkin. I was hoping Mark would carve a pumpkin with me, but he didn't want to, and decided to go to bed while I was carving the pumpkin. I'm not the best at it, but I am definitely proud of my work!


Then on Saturday I got him to come to Walgreens to take a picture together in costume. I think it turned out pretty cute although he was trying to grab my butt.





James and Alecia came to hang out with us after I got off of work too. We went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse then went back to our apartment to watch the World Series (of course...) and hand out candy to trick-or-treaters. (We had 4! haha) After we were done watching sports we played a board game and by then were super tired and ready for bed.

On Halloween we went to church (exhausting!.. especially since all of the kids were probably loaded with candy!) Afterwards my parents and my grandma came over and we had pulled pork sandwiches. Then Mark and I watched the Giants game and went to bed!

Although Halloween wasn't what I was used to this year, it was kind of nice to just stay home and relax. (Even watching baseball!) I think it will be so much more fun after we have kids, and get to do all of that fun stuff again, but hopefully that won't be for a couple more years! :)
