Halloween 2011

We celebrated with our missional community on Friday night with a costume party.  We challenged everyone to wear a costume or pay a buck.  We voted on the best costume and the winner was to get the boot :)  The Stepics came dressed as the incredibles and stole the show!  It was a lot of fun and a chance for the kids to wear their costumes more than once!  Here are a few pics of some of those who dressed up.  Somehow I missed some :( ... us :) he!he!

We had a lot of fun this year as it was our first year of trick or treating.  We sought out to meet more of our neighbors and hoped at least a few of them so far out in the country would be handing out candy.  Much to our surprise we have the best neighborhood!  There were a ton of houses all excited to load our girls up with candy!  The girls started out a bit timid with the idea of going to a strangers house and asking for candy, but soon they were tumbling over each other out of the van to "see more neighbors" as MaryAlice dubbed this fun game.  We met all sorts of wonderful people and had a blast!
