Halloween {johnson style}

Yesterday we made the drive to Peoria once again for the annual Johnson Halloween party. We met at a very cool park in Grandma & Grandpa Johnson's neighborhood. While we were waiting for the Halliburtons to arrive, the kids ran up and down this hill about a thousand times (okay, maybe not quite that many).


After a yummy lunch and letting the kids play at the playground, we all made the very short drive to Grandma & Grandpa Johnson's house to get dressed in our Halloween best. First, we took individual pictures of each of the kids. Then came getting them to all sit together. Ahh, the annual Johnson grandchildren Halloween picture. It is definitely getting a little harder every year to get a decent picture of all the kids together.

After pictures, the kids headed up the stairs for some trick-or-treating practice. They ended up going to four rooms upstairs and then three more down stairs. They had a great time and did an awesome job of making sure every one got their candy before moving on to the next door. Even Koltyn picked it up pretty quickly, once he saw what was being dropped into his bucket.

The kids really did not want to leave, but we were off to our ward's trunk-or-treat and we didn't want to be too late. But we did have a great time with our family while it lasted!
