This year for Halloween we have Harry Potter, a boy being abducted by an alien, and a cowboy. Kimball went to a Halloween party with a friend in our new ward so I took Cora and Ezra to our old neighborhood to trick or treat. It was such a fun night and not too chilly. I purposely took Cora by two of her best friends' houses since she hasn't seen them since we moved. The girls were so surprised, Presley almost cried because she was so happy to finally see Cora.
Bell Tower hosted its first annual Dia de Los Muertos on November 1. It was our first time hosting and planning this and A LOT of work went into it. Each employee was instrumental in pulling it off and I would say it was a success. We had about 150 people! Several people from our new ward came out, lots of folks dressed up, the ofrenda was very full. What a lovely tradition to remember our ancestors and share stories! We had a full mariachi band, taco truck, complimentary drinks, face painting, cookie decorating, and flower making. The weather was very rainy and windy but we rented a large tent with heaters inside so it was fairly comfortable. I'm so grateful the community came together to remember their kindred dead.
