Our ward Trunk or Treat was the Saturday before Halloween. Lauren went as Elvis which we made from a pair of pants and shirt we found at D.I, then we glued all the sequins on and created that fancy belt buckle by spray painting a paper plate gold. Jace, well he's the Mad Scientist, Dr. Toxic. Also a D.I find- so costumes cost me less than $20 this year!!
There were plenty of friends to be had, a haunted house to haunt and scary amounts of candy to be trick or treated.
Elvis hung out with some groupies and together they made quite a scene.... they too loaded up on candy, too much if you ask me.
If you haven't been to the atrium in the Bellagio, you are missing out. It is always beautifully decorated but it's especially great at the holidays. This year the fall display consisted of these copper trees that seemed to drip water from every leaf.
Giant scarecrows and pumpkins....
Trees that come to life and many other fabulous things. If you didn't catch the fall display there still may be time, but DEFINITELY go for the Christmas display- it never disappoints!It's Halloween! It's Halloween! The moon is full and bright/ And we shall see what can't be seen On any other night. Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls, Grinning goblins fighting duels/ Werewolves rising from their tombs, Witches on their magic brooms/ In masks and gown we haunt the street /And knock on doors for trick or treat/ Tonight we are the king and queen, For oh tonight it's Halloween!

Halloween night we went to my parents house for tricks and treats. First, dinner in a pumpkin, followed by haunting games with skeleton bones and a witches hat.
All the kids prepared to haunt or charm the candy givers
Lauren and Maddy braved the spooky house
There were even a couple of nerds there. Dorks!
"I said thank-you, thank-you very much"
He's mad! Gone crazy!Everyone had a great Halloween! Even those who got chased down the street by the ghoulish shovel lady at her haunted house. In fact, they kept going back for more! As usual we ended up with too much candy and a lot of fun!!

The kids look sweet! They're costumes turned out great. You and Jason crack me up. Loved your costumes!
