Happy Halloween!

I wrapped up work by 3:30 today so I could pick up Lydia and Mary from Foothill elementary and meet Lily and the younger kids in Provo. The businesses in downtown Provo start passing around candy at 4:00 and going has become a fun tradition for us. What made it the most fun was that Amy and her kids joined us. Amy also brought some friends from France who were delightful.

After trick-or-treating in Provo, we went home to an incredible meal made by Lily. She made home-made chili, salad, cornbread muffins (from scratch), and spiced cider. I ate four bowls of chili and loved the whole meal so much. I rarely like cornbread, but I LOVED this recipe that Lily made and it was divine with her home-made honey butter (with marshmallow creme). It was also so much fun to have Amy and her family join us for dinner.

Then Amy and her family joined us for trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. The weather was superb. I was toasty in my frog costume. Everyone had such a good time. Here are some videos, including the haunted garage one of our neighbors made. That was the finale for everyone:

The spoils!

Everyone had such a happy time. Thank you to Lily for making the incredible meal and preparing all the costumes. Thank you to Amy for joining us with her sweet family and making it double the fun. What a great Halloween!
