A Day At the Gardens

Ghost and Goblins Dancing All About

Well, Halloween came, and we got butt shots! Rus took the kids out for trick or treating, and they wouldn't stop long enough for a nice picture. All Rus could get was them running from house to house. The little monsters!!! Well, they made a killing in candy. Maddie came back with a plastic pumpkin full of candy. It seems that many houses would let the kids pick candy from the bowl. When this happened Maddie would just help herself to handfuls, and no one would stop her. I guess it helps being a cute little girl! Our friends, who went trick or treating with Rus, let him in on her little secret the second time it happened. I guess Maddie lost her shyness from the Trunk'er Treat. We are slowly getting through the candy, and will probably still have some come Easter!!
We hope that all our friends had a fun Halloween!!!

The Beginning

Well, I did it! I have finally set up a blog, and I am excited. Now friends and family can veiw pictures of the kids, and I don't feel guilty about not sending them out! Hurray!!!!

So, this week is Halloween. Erik and Maddie didn't have any idea of what they wanted to be for Halloween. Last Friday before our ward's Trunk'er Treat we went costume hunting. Luckily we have kids who are easily pleased. We picked out a ninja costume for Erik(he was in school), and Maddie just wanted to be a princess so we found her a little asian girl costume and told her it was a princess costume. We felt like we needed to stick with a theme so Lydie's costume became an asian beetle costume. The kids had a lot of fun going from trunk to trunk. I had to force Maddie to continue(I don't understand how that could be...I never needed any encouragment to get free candy), but we did hit every car. The party was a success for the Ellefsons!!! Erik and Maddy are really looking forward to Halloween night. I will post more pictures then.
