halloween.

This year was full of fun times for Benson to dress up for Halloween. I loved his owl costume and it hardly seemed to bother him which is a total plus. It kicked off with the annual Asay Halloween party. The highlight this year was the hay ride around the neighborhood. We were quite the sight for anyone who may have seen us. It is so fun to have so much family around. 

Our ward trunk or treat was where Benson learned the art of collecting candy and he was not shy about the handfuls he stuffed into his bucket at every car. It was great practice for Halloween night. He ran from house to house and loved knocking on the doors. 

He got impatient at some houses who didn't answer fast enough...

October was too good and we are excited for this holiday season! Other October highlights:

Painting pumpkins is way better than carving them

I don't care how many times people say it, but seriously time flies by so fast. It is already Nov. 1st. The holiday season is upon us. I can't believe it. And another thing I don't care about how many times it's said, but holidays are so much better with kids. We had a pretty fun Halloween. Benson was a ghost by day and skeleton by night.

John came over. We had white bean chili and cornbread. This year we actually had trick-or-treaters with our front door being an actual front door and not in a backyard under ground. While John manned the door for a bit, Matt and I took Benson around the neighborhood. We considered knocking on a few doors, but felt a bit strange so we just walked the streets and said hi to or neighbors. We ended the night with watching Super 8.

Someone please come take our leftover candy away from our house.

We had our 2nd Annual Asay Halloween Party this last weekend. It was fun to see the kids dressed up. Even gma and gpa Asay surprised us all with fun costumes of their own. Matt and Caleb gave everyone a good laugh volunteering themselves as moving targets for the kids to shoot the paintball gun at. Benson was a super cute little ghost guy. Holidays are so much more fun with your own kids!
