Halloween/moving

The end of October was a super crazy time for us!

We were getting ready for Halloween and also getting ready to move to Florida on Nov. 2!

Our festivities began with our ward trunk or treat party where Owen learned he got candy anytime he said trick or treat and he LOVED it!

Next was actual Halloween where we had some traditions to continue.

The pizza on the floor tradition started when years ago my family got the keys to our new house on Halloween but we had no furniture so we had to sit on the floor and eat.

This year we were forced to follow tradition since we had already packed all our belongings onto a moving truck and had no table..

We also continued our homemade root beer tradition which really amazed Owen :)

 Next was trick or treating!

Which consisted of going to like four houses because it was pretty freezing!

The sweetest part of the night was when a boy from the neighborhood came up to say hi to Owen. He told him that he used to love Elmo and gave Owen a big handful of his own candy which made Owen pretty happy :)

So happy he wanted to eat all of his candy in one sitting...

After Halloween it was time to move!

Luckily we had wonderful elders quorums in Tennessee and in Florida who helped us pack our truck and unload it which made our lives SO much easier.

Since James was driving the truck the whole way, my amazing mom flew out to Tennessee to help me drive the car with Owen all the way to Florida and get us totally set up in our new house.

There's no way we would have made it without her!

We were sad to have to say goodbye, but hopefully she will be able to come back soon!

So far we have loved living in Florida..








And being ten minutes from the beach isn't too bad either :)
