Carving, Costumes, and Candy

 Our much anticipated pumpkin carving contest brought a lot of trash talking, but ultimately everyone produced a pretty amazing creation.





We took the vote to social media, and it was a CLOSE race between Daddy and Maggie. In the end, Daddy claimed victory with his "Ghosty Besties" pumpkin.




Special recognition goes to Jacob for his "Big Jaws' pumpkin that he carved completely by himself!


Halloween looked a little different this year for our family since Maggie and Tuttle both made plans with friends instead of a family walk around the neighborhood. Maggie went home with Hannah after school, and Tuttle ventured to the neighborhood across the street. Luckily I received photos from Hannah's mom throughout the night, and Tuttle stopped by the Mitchell's house for dinner before Jay dropped him off in Fernwood.



The Mitchell Family hosted several families for pizza and chili before the kids took over Foxhall.



Our sweet neighbor, Lindsey Smith, allowed our crew to hitchhike on her golf cart to trick-or-treat. Jacob loved running around with Hudson!



While the kids are still eating too much candy every afternoon after school, Maggie could not take down the Halloween decorations quick enough to start decking the halls for Christmas. Since we do not host Thanksgiving, we use this as an excuse to decorate the house early! 

Happy Hallothanksmas!
