Happy Halloween from our little Polar Bear








This felt like the first Real Halloween in our house. We got all gussied up and went to our Ward Trunk or Treat. So fun to see all our friends, and I definitely think the Calls should win for the best "trunk". We had tasty crispy cream donuts and our awesome star trek bishop gave us killer halloween themed tooth brushes (river got a glow in the dark one). 

I have to say I was a little disappointed though because only one person guessed our costumes right. Can you guess our costumes? Are we the only nerds out there? Or maybe we're like ten years behind.

River loved seeing all the people and kids, but it got too cold too quick, so we had to get back in the car before we all froze.

I love having our house for many reasons, but one of my favorites is that i love to see all the trick or treaters, young and not so young. It's so fun! I love seeing their costumes and happy little faces. Some of them are a lot tougher than me because I wouldn't last as long as they do in the cold. 
I think Sky will be the one to take River around while I happily hand out candy and sneak a couple pieces too.

And if you need it here's a hint to guessing our costumes:

To my Sweet Grandma Fran



To my sweet Grandma Fran,


who always smelled of flowers,
who could tie a perfect bow,
who was an Artist and a Mother.

You taught me how to be sensitive and communicate 
the beautiful things I felt in my heart through my art.

You taught me about unconditionally loving others 
and loving friends so dearly they become family.

You taught me the joy that comes from living life
 as a true disciple of Jesus Christ.
A believer and doer of His Word.
A quietly powerful influence for Good.

I will strive to live a life that Honors You and continues your legacy.
And that is how I will show my love for you. 


Whenever I see a flower in bloom, my heart will smile thinking of you.

xoxo
