Happy Halloween! We had the best Halloween this year! It actually started last weekend with trunk or treating at our Church. Jackson and his buddy Nathaniel were the politically themed elephant and donkey for Vote Trick and Vote Treat. Just like every good political candidate, it included supporters wearing buttons, a platform displaying their issues, and a decorated wagon. Thanks for all your help Glo! Halloween started with carving pumpkins, then a Halloween parade and costume contest where Jackson and Nathaniel won most creative costume, and ended with trick or treating. We went with Jackson's buddies Aidan and Payton and it didn't take long for Jackson to figure out what was going on. He finally got what trick or treating meant and proudly said it at each door. For the majority of houses, we even got a thank you out of him. We had planned on only doing a couple of houses, but Jackson kept saying "More Candy", so we did quite a few! This was the first holiday that I really felt like we celebrated with Jackson and he understood what was going on. It was so much fun!!
Trunk or Treat at the Church. A bunch of people from the church park their cars and open up their trunks to trick or treat.
Vote Trick Vote Treat!
The only way we could keep them in the wagon was with bribery. Jackson had a lot of candy that day!
Carving his first pumpkin! He would scoop out the guts and throw it on the newspaper like a pro.
Hey! It's ELMO!

Hey Mom! Did you know they were giving out candy?
