Happy Halloween

This evening we had planned on taking Kade to our church for Trunk-or-Treat and then take him Trick-or-Treating around a few neighborhoods here in town. So we got him all dressed up in his elephant costume, and he was already griping about wearing it. We finally convinced him to wear it so he could get his candy. We got to church and immediately Kade started crying. He was scared of everyone that was handing out candy from their cars because they were wearing costumes. He wouldn't even walk up to the cars, and he wouldn't wear his hood either. So Jake and I had to get his candy for him. We decided since he was so scared we'd just skip Trick-or-Treating and go home. We went ahead and dropped by my grandma's house first to let him get candy there and let her see his costume. She wanted Kade to stay and help her hand out candy to all the kids, so he was excited to do that. While he was handing out candy, he decided it might not be so bad to Trick-or-Treat after all, so we took him around Jeanie's neighborhood, and he loved it! He would go up to everyone's door, say "I'm an elephant!", and thank them for his candy. He even wore the hood on his costume. It turned out to be a great Halloween afterall!

While Trick-or-Treating we ran into some of our friends, so Kade went around with his friend Landon. Here they are showing off their costumes.
