Neverland Halloween

We had a fun church party with themed tables. Our table was Lord of the Rings and so we decided to go as super fans. It was a really funny night and Bridget might start randomly sporting the elf ears just because. And while we were going to a church function, those were not scriptures but the Tolkien trilogy accompanied by elfin phrases. We took our super fan costumes seriously!

We also enjoyed our first Governor's Halloween Party at the Capitol. Ian was underwhelmed to meet Governor Herbert and his wife, but they were both really nice and it was good to meet the people Justin is working with now.

For the big day our kiddos dressed up as a Neverland entourage. Josie was our pirate and then we had Tinkerbell and Peter Pan.
There are some smiles!
Earlier in the day Ian found some of the glasses that Parker had used for his nerd costume. He thought they were pretty funny.
The kids decorated some pumpkin to get into the spirit for the big night.

Peter showed us his muscles,
and Tink demonstrated her flying stance,
and they were off to get lots and lots of treats. In this picture you can already see the results of the candy overload and the rain that we had to endure to get said candy. It was a fun night and at the end we had some pretty tired, but happy kids.
On another note, Justin spent the ghoulish holiday writing all day - and we mean from 4 am until 9 pm (with breaks for eating and trick-or-treating of course). Thankfully, his first thesis draft is done! So, we're excited to be progressing on that front too. We hope that everyone had a fun Halloween!

Congratulations on the thesis writing. Now the fun "jumping through final hoops" game. Loved the Halloween costumes.

Ha! I like your super fan costumes, especially the trilogy instead of the triple. That's hilarious. Your kiddos look adorable in their Neverland get-ups.
