Halloween

Harry Potter Family

We had a wonderful Halloween this year. We were the "Harry Potter" Family and you would be amazed at how cool our costumes were. (At least we thought so). Britton was Harry, Ashlyn was Hermoine, Treyson was Ron, I was Professor McGonagall and Scott was Snape. Scott's was the coolest costume because a lot of people thought he looked just like him.

So after the kids Parades at school we went home and decided to go visit my Grandma so she could see our costumes. After our short visit we ran back home so we could attend the Annual Neighborhood Potluck Dinner. We do it every year before trick or treating. We have Hotdogs, Hot chocolate, Homemade Rootbeer and then everyone brings a side. It is just a good way to start out the Trick or Treating. We all meet and then when it's over we all know its time to start Trick or Treating. My parents came down for the night as did Whitney, Bryan, and Parker. It was a good time by all. Thanks Dad for passing out the candy.

Halloween Preparations

For Family Home Evening this week we finally got around to carving our pumpkins. We had planted pumpkins this year in our garden. When all was said and done we had 26 pumpkins. We gave a few to family, a few to friends, put a few in the yard for decorations and then carved a few. We still have quite a few left. The kids sure enjoyed planting, taking care of, picking and then carving our pumpkins this year.

We also had pumpkin chocolate chips cookies for our dessert. They were really yummy as you can tell by Brielle's face.
