Halloween at the Sappington House

The members of our ward – the young and the young-at-heart - enjoyed another fun Trunk or Treat in the church parking lot on Halloween, Thursday, October 31.  Hosted by the Primary, the activity has become an eagerly anticipated, well-attended favorite holiday event.  Members of all ages dress up to hand out Halloween goodies to little ghouls and boys who go from trunk to trunk for their treats.  We also enjoyed the Young Women’s Chili Cookoff for an excuse not to have to cook. 

This was the very first Halloween for our Guyanese twins.  It was also their first look at their new home ward.  The members were warm and welcoming, while the boys were polite and quiet.  Not sure if they were overwhelmed about Halloween or had “jet lag” 

When we got home, Alyssa brought Josh and her boys by to see us.  A short time later Kendi and Danielle came by to show us their costumes … then Rick dropped in with a gaggle of kids from their neighborhood to go trick or treating in ours, including Taisley.  Then Stacy stopped over after work to see what was going on and to meet her new “baby brothers!”  Fun evening … and a total immersion into our family for our boys!
