Halloween

So sorry this has been delayed. We have had a bad case of the flu in our household and it's been hard getting back up on our feet. Anyhow, this year we did some pumpkins...mine is the Frankenstein one and Jack's is the freehand one. :o)
Jaxon wasn't quite as interested in pumpkins this year, so we'll try him again next year.
We dressed up for our ward party. Jack and I were the couple from Juno (Juno and Bleeker).
Nobody really got what I was unless Jack was standing next to me. :o) Oh well, it was a pretty easy costume for us this year.
Jaxon got a little warm, so we didn't have him keep his costume on during the party. The night of the ward party was so warm we were a little disappointed that it wasn't actually Halloween because it would have been nice weather for the kids to go out and around.
For actual Halloween day, we went out to Broadview Heights to go trick or treating and it was COLD! Here's Jaxon in all his puppy dog glory before we headed out.
You can tell how excited Jaxon was to be in his costume. Which was so sad. He had been trying on the costume all week long and wouldn't take it off...and then the nights we actually wanted him to wear it...he didn't.
Good thing the costume was warm-er though. But still not quite warm enough. We had to keep Jaxon in a blanket the whole time we walked around.
He was so cute walking up to the door for candy though. He didn't really get the whole concept of trick or treating, but he would just say "treat" and didn't take the candy (no worries, Jack and I made sure he still got the candy in his little treat bag :o) and then he'd politely say "dank-you" and walk off.
It was fun having Jaxon actually be able to walk up to the door himself this year and get candy himself.

How cute!! Jon and I were cracking up at you and Jack as Juno and Bleeker. So cute! I love it. Hopefully Jaxon will be more into his costume and trick or treating next year. He sure does make a great looking puppy dog!

What a cute puppy dog you have. Cute Juno costumes too. I wish I could have seen Jaxon saying "Treat" and "Dank you". See you soon - in December.
Love, mom
