Harvest Carnival

We don't celebrate Halloween in our family. We just don't see any redemptive value in it and quite honestly, really just despise the holiday and anything it stands for. I know that alot of people can find some good things to say about it but in my book, it doesn't stand for any good. If you are interested in finding out more info about Halloween and it's evil you can click here. Yes, I know our family would not be choosing to take part in the evil that Halloween represents but why would I want my children to even take part in a holiday that has such evil history? In any case, here are our pictures from the Harvest Carnival that our church puts on. It's the largest Harvest Carnival in the area and hosts I think somewhere around 4,000 people every year. It is meant as an outreach and I would hope that there were some souls reached this year.

Emma was Felicity from American Girl along with Nickelle was Samantha and Audrey was Kristin (although I was informed that "no one knows how I am so I'm going to be Laura Ingalls" from Audrey)

We added the hair to the back of Emma's bonnet since she obviously doesn't have the right hair for Felicity.

Riah was a butterfly. The horses are the higlight for my kids every year.
Emma and I did karaoke to the Daniel song from Veggietales. It was fun!

Moses was great!

Sarah The Ladybug
Arm wrestling Samson

Just before we were ready to go, Sarah found Karen Roth. Karen had just served in the nursery the week before and evidently remembered her. She was enamored!

It was fun but I think next year we might look into maybe doing a Reformation Party with some of our friends. There is a group of women who did it up in Washington, take a look, it looks like lots of fun. I don't know much about Martin Luther but it looks like the kids learned lots of christian history.
