Halloween 2009


What a busy month for us! I figured I would condense a lot of posts into one this time because it all has to do with Halloween in some way or another.
On the 17th we had our annual family party. This has become my favorite thing for the whole month!! My family came to my house, and we all dress up, have dinner, have some kind of activity and "trick or treat" to the doors throughout the house! We are so silly, but we've been doing this for 5 years now, so we can't stop now (and it just seems to get better with every year!!).
Then on the 25th we carved pumpkins with Jared's family. This year was funny because I did a more simple design and Jared wanted to carve Michael Jackson!! It turned out pretty good considering how hard it was to carve, but within a day or two it was wilting pretty bad. I joked with Jared and said it was true to life... sorry!

On the 30th we had our ward Trunk or Treat. That was a lot of fun because we got to see all of our friends and neighbors in costume, and it was just a great time! Next year we'll dress up for it too.

And finally Halloween day. Zack dressed up as a giraffe, and he made a cute one! We took him around trick or treating to a few houses and it was so cute to see him try and hold his bucket or pick out some candy from our neighbors. What a fun holiday when you have kids!! Then we had a bunch of neighbors come over later that night to hang out. And that is always fun too!


This is some of our neighbors playing the wii!!


Whoosh, what a month, but what a fun one!
