Bumpers, ballots, and babies

Halloween was a quiet affair for our family. We went to our ward trunk-or-treat, and then went home. You know what made me mad? A ton of families came to trick or treat from other wards/surrounding neighborhoods, and they didn't bring any candy to share. Hence, there were hundreds of children, and not very much candy, so the event lasted about 15 minutes. The takers outnumbered the givers. But since candy doesn't even exist in Alaina's world, we still had fun. And everybody loved our costumes.

 

 

On November 6th we voted. This is us at 6am outside a polling place. This is the second polling place we tried. The first one already had a 1.5 hour wait by 5:45. I loved watching so many Americans voting. I didn't love the election results, but what can you do? Just keep living life, working hard, and hope to make a better world for your kids.

 

  

Alaina found her favorite hiding place. It's the one cupboard that doesn't have a lock on it (she yanked it off). She is walking all over the place now. I can't wait to go home for Christmas so our families can see how adorable she is.
