The Hosmer Family: October 2012

So Holiday season begins. It has been so much fun having Hunter around this Halloween. Its so fun to do things we do every year, but how they feel so different now that we have Hunter. We did alot of new things too. The best thing was seeing Hunter in his costume. He was the cutest raccoon I have ever seen. My favorite part, the stuffed belly. He just look so chubby and cuddly. Here are just a few things we did this Halloween season:

Pumpkin Patch:

We went to lunch and the pumpkin patch with our friends Leslie, Jeremy and Eli. Eli is only 7 months older than Hunter. I know in the future, they will be great friends just like Leslie and I :) Although it was really hot and we really couldn't do much (there's only so much you can do with a six month old) it was fun to hang out with good friends and make new memories

Trunk or Treat:
Every year through our church they have a ward Halloween Party and do Trunk or Treat (its basically trick or treating but instead of houses you go trunk to trunk :). Its super fun and the kids really love it. I took Hunter to our wards and then we all went to my parents ward. It was really great and had yummy food, like soft serve ice cream, slush puppies, nachos, popcorn and more!! Hunter liked wearing his costume and holding his pumpkin while going car to car. It was the cutest thing.

Halloween Themed Family Night:

Almost every Sunday, my family gets together for Sunday Funday. We have dinner and just hang out. It also gives Scott and I a chance to do our laundry for FREE. On this particular Funday, Kelly went and bought us all pumpkins to carve. Its so nice spending time with family and makes me so thankful that we will be together forever.

He did not like the pumpkin guts, haha

Close up of his face while he holds pumpkin guts in his hands, it was too funny :)

Halloween:

This year Hunter and I went to my cousin Melissa's house for a kids Halloween Party and Trick or Treating. She has had this party many times in the past and I never went because I didn't have a child. I finally went and it was so much fun. Although Hunter didn't get to participate in the activities because he was either too little or asleep, we had a blast. Unfortunately due to Scott's schedule he was unable to attend but there is always next year. Since Scott was unable to go, my mom came to help and to see Hunter. They had Halloween Bingo, a Ghost Pinata and yummy food. We then all went trick or treating. We only went to about 10-15 houses before turning around while the big kids went on, but we at least experienced it all (plus it gave us an excuse to put him in his raccoon costume one more time, haha). It was so much fun and cannot wait until next year, when Hunter might be able to do a little more!!
