Happy Halloween!

This year we decided to do things a little differently.  We went to the house of the co-leaders of our bible study group.  We wanted to be just a hint of "missional" this year, so we paired up with the B family to give out candy to the kids and hot cider to the adults.  Our family went early, around 4, to do our trick-or-treating in their neighborhood, then help hand out candy and cider.  The cider was a hit, especially as the sun started to go down and it got colder and colder.  The boys had a great time trick-or-treating, and got quite a haul.  Our touche bag will be full for many months.  Here are some pics of the evening

Here, Wyatt needed to take a break from trick-or-treating to play some basketball in a neighbors front yard.  Zach kept saying "Come on WYATT, let's go get more candy", and Wyatt would say "in a minute, in a minute"  The only 2yr old I know that would prefer to play basketball over get candy.

They boys loved running to answer the door when it rang, to check out the trick-or-treaters.

Fun night for all.
