Halloween: The holiday that lasts all month...

I love Halloween and I'm glad Kentucky has so much to offer during the month of October. 
We picked just one pumpkin at Huber Farms to carve this year and Kenz picked the Tinkerbell design.


 The Saturday before Halloween, Kenzie went to an awesome Sunbeam Halloween party. After picking her up we went trick-or-treating at a local rest home which Keith and I really enjoyed. There weren't many rooms to go to but we were able to chat with several residents who were so kind and interesting. From there, we went to our apartment complex's party. They had pizza, a bounce house, a face painter and an awesome balloon artist. Kenzie asked for a horse:
I really only decorate for Halloween and Christmas. I liked how this years turned out.
 One weekend, I dragged Keith to Creasey Mahan which is a local nature preserve. Everything was supposed to be free which included hay rides and a haunted maze but it ended up just being free to trick-or-treat at some sponsored booths. We didn't stay long.
 
 We also went to our ward Halloween party and actually dressed up. Needless to say, we already had a basket of candy before Halloween arrived.
 Halloween Night:
 We met up with some friends to trick-or-treat in the neighborhood next door. It's a great spot and the kids had a blast running to every door together.
 Kenzie really got into it and was usually the first to the door and sprinting on to the next. She could have lasted hours even though it was a cold night.
 The local firefighters were handing out candy as well.
Clara all bundled up. If you're wondering about their costumes, Mackenzie decided in June she wanted to be a butterfly and Clara could be a caterpillar. Kenzie wanted to also wear a princess dress so she ended up looking more like a fairy. When people asked what she was she would say "A fairy princess butterfly"
