Halloween

Our Halloween festivities started early Saturday morning at my mom's house for pictures with the cousins. It's getting to be quite the bunch of kids, and quite difficult to get a decent picture of all of them.

Left: Jaxon (5), Ryker (18 mo), Isaac (3), Jeffrey (5), Lauren (5), Wyatt (3), Jayne (6), Garrett (3)
Right: Piper (1 wk), Carter (3wks), Jovi (8 wks)

The whole caboodle...including Roxy the 4-legged cousin (who was pirate dog)!

Jaxon went as a dinosaur and/or dragon. Depending on the moment he was something different! Ryker was a bear...and would never look directly at the camera (silly kid!).

Trick or Treating went a lot smoother with the help of our trusty wagon. It made the whole event a bit quicker and tear-free. Ryker was a little big bulky in that bear costume and a awkward to carry. Jaxon got tired of carrying his tail around and having it stepped on when he went to the doors.

Jaxon was so excited for all the candy ... especially since he gets 99% of Ryker's "bad candy" (i.e anything chocolate or nutty). Poor kid! We are so thankful that at least a few people passed out suckers and starbursts. Hopefully by the time he understands the concept of trick-or-treating these dang allergies will be a thing of the past!

I'm a slacker and never got a picture of our pumpkins because we never actually lit them! We had fun carving them and I did get one picture of Jaxon working on his pumpkin before I got busy with the others and forgot all documenting the event.
