Halloween Happenings!

Josh and I aren't huge Halloween people (we like Christmas- better message, and PRESENTS!), but we usually do a little something! This year, since Halloween was on a Wednesday, there was a small youth party at church. And, of course, we carved a pumpkin. Here we are with Elena and our pumpkin, not that you can really see us. And Elena is a bit blurry because she doesn't really get that whole sit still thing, and the exposure on this picture was loooong!


Before we went to the youth party, we dressed Elena up in her Halloween costume. She was (as you can see) thrilled!

At the youth party we ate some snacks, and Charlie had some great, classic games for us! And when I say us, I mean everyone else, because I took the pictures!
First was bobbing for apples... here's Sam, shoulder deep in the bucket... way to go all out, dude!
Not to be outdone, Josh followed Sam's lead and got SOAKED!
We also played the classic toilet paper mummy game... here is Sam as his team's mummy!
It was a simple Halloween, but it was a lot of fun. I didn't even dress up, but we still had fun at the youth party. And we learned one very important lesson... when it comes to Halloween games, the classics never die! :)
