Last night we attended Reformation Celebration at church. Instead of a trunk-or-treat or other kind of party, our church celebrates the date on which Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the Catholic church door on October 31, 1517. Each year the pastors choose a reformer to teach about for the night...this year it was Hugh Latimer. But the kids also dress up for fun, and there were lots of games, a chili cook-off, snow cones, cotton candy, and popcorn! It was a very elaborate night. We really missed Aaron (he stayed home to recover more...he's in a lot of pain now). Enjoy the pictures of our girls dressed up!

Our attempt at a picture together...it's not going to be good for the next couple of years, let's just face it. Check out Cohen the pirate on the right. Poor little pumpkin...she rode like this the whole way to church. But the funny thing was that she didn't fuss about it! She just ate her snack and figured that not being able to see was part of the costume :) I was cracking up at her all the way there.

Vivian was Minnie Mouse! In June, Aunt Nancy sent some sparkly pink Minnie Mouse shoes for V, so I thought we could use those for a costume idea. And also, she's into Mickey Mouse right now (the one DVD we have of it...). Macy was a princess.

Ansley the butterfly!

Kate loves to play on the bottom step of any staircase. We played outside in the foyer for a while during the end of the Hugh Latimer presentation because they couldn't sit still in the sanctuary.

Then we headed to the Fellowship Hall for dinner, games, and sugar!

Brett and Jody dressed up as the Duggars, and they got the youth to be there 19 children. The jean jumper really suited Jody well, don't you think? She carried around this baby doll to be the latest Duggar child.

Mattie played with the girls and helped them eat more candy. Dennis took V to all the games and crafts, and got her some cotton candy for me while I watched Kate run around. Thanks, Dennis!

Happy Reformation Day on Sunday!
