October Halloween, Parties and Elara's hair

I taught joy school the week of Halloween and it's all about food and presentation! 
It was so so fun! The kids had a blast and we did a parade for the parents to hand out candy.
Elara and I have been so blessed to be a part of this joy school group this year. These ladies and kiddos have been a complete joy to be around and have totally lifted our spirits each week and Elara has learned and grown so much this year.




 Joy school friends: Left to right: Adam, JJ, Betsy, Elara, Maeve, and Jack

We had a ward trunk or treat a couple days before Halloween we were able to go to.
Elara "Elsa", Kael "Mario", Connor "Superman", and Eden "Cinderella".
 Sydney and Elara the best of friends!
There was face painting and games and lots of treats.




Derek got back from Corpus Christi and just 3 short weeks later left for a conference in Chicago. He came home and went straight to Houston. He was home long enough for one quick photo, but he sent us tons of fun photos from his trip!


The night before Halloween Elara decided she was bored in the bathroom and took my nail trimming scissors and trimmed herself some bangs.
She felt sad about it and wanted that hair back...
But, we got into a stylist first thing in the morning and she got some cute bangs and a trim to help even it out.

Woke up to a beautiful Texas foggy morning that was perfect for Halloween!

Our usual of chili, and biscuits for dinner followed by way too much candy! Lots of Garfield's Halloween, and other spooky movies.

 Eden decided to be Pikachoo for Halloween instead of Cinderella. 

 The loot! There was so much!
 Connor discovered suckers and is now a sucker addict.
