Remember: reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold, bye!

This year we let the kids pick our costume theme and the decision was universal: Gravity Falls. They all fell in love with the show this year. Catherine in particular watched the entire thing twice. I didn't watch as much as everyone else, so I felt like a bit of a poser, but it was still fun!

Catherine was the most dedicated to our costumes this year.
She designed and created her own costume (with a bit of help from Mom & Dad):

Catherine as Bill Cipher, her favorite character from the show:
Did I mention that Bill is the villain?
And Catherine still denies that she's a Slytherin...

Seth as Soos:
My favorite part was the tiny little moustache we drew on.
Too bad you can't actually see it...
(Yes, that's a pillow stuffed in there. 
Seth does not have a gut.
But Soos does!)

Jon as Grunkle Stan:
(We opted for the suit version over the wifebeater and boxers version)

And, finally, Elijah as Li'l Gideon (also a villain):
No shoes because we may have forgotten them at home...

Mabel and Gideon ready to get candy!

The whole Gravity Falls crew!

Elise also invited her friend Vivi to join us for the trunk or treat:

Enjoying some treats in the hall:

Trunk or treat felt kind of off this year. It wasn't well attended, and it seemed like a lot of people who did come were only there because they had various jobs to perform. Our ward is just so small now!
