Halloween


We had a wonderful Halloween. I love that Ethan is old enough now to enjoy the holidays. This is how we spent the weeks leading up to Halloween:

Visiting Erica in Texas for my nephew Bradley's baby blessing


Running the South Jordan Half and setting a PR


Playing in the leaves

 Carving pumpkins - which Ethan loved! He played in the pumpkin guts for hours until I had to pry him away from his bath


Exploring the local Halloween attraction Cornbelly's




Experimenting with various crafts at home and missing the wonderful weather in California


Before we knew it it was Halloween! We dressed Ethan up as a cowboy. He LOVED wearing his costume and is convinced he still needs to wear his cowboy boots everywhere we go. 
The day before Halloween, Sorenson Capital (where Chris works) threw a super fun Halloween party for the kids. They went all out. There was a movie and pizza room, a cookie decorating room, a pumpkin painting room and TONS and TONS of candy. Ethan was in heaven. 


On Halloween day I took Ethan to Thanksgiving point farm in the morning so he could ride his horse. 

Afterwards we met most of Chris's in South Jordan for lunch at Chick-fil-A
Ethan and his cousin Logan
 Later in the afternoon we drove to Orem and trick-or-treated to a few houses in Cherry Village with Megan, Matt, Blake, and Haley. Then came home and trick-or-treated to our neighbor with Chris. 


We had a very fun Halloween filled with way too much candy.
