Halloween

Our Halloween festivities started when daddy got home.  We painted and carved pumpkins.

I love the kids' pumpkins, the faces are about the best dollar store find yet! 

Then it was off to G-ma and G-pa's

Look at the cutest monster in town!

Where we went Trick-or-Treating 

And had fun with cousins

Then off to Grandma and Grandpa's for more Trick-or-Treating and cousins!

Halloween Parties

We had a few parties on Saturday night.  Our ward party where we ate chili and hot dogs, and then we did some games, ate cotton candy, and jumped in the bouncy house.

Then we were off to my parents ward party... which is always completely amazing!  They had games that you could play and get tokens, which you could exchange for prizes.  A haunted house that you could climb up the chimney and look out.  And the highlight of Preston and I's night was the bubbles... these were not just any bubbles they had dry ice fog in them and when they would pop the mist would disperse!

Our Own Nativity

We just had our ward party it was 'A Night in Bethlehem' the whole ward was dressed up and it was really fun!

My angel and wiseman

I am amazed at the things Kya retains, I have told her the story of baby Jesus a few times but she knows it all and it is fun to hear her repeat the Christmas story.

Halloween 2010

We started our Halloween on Saturday and good thing we did because we all ended up sick on Halloween! I thought I could push through Saturday when in fact I should have heeded the fever and stayed in bed but didn't want to miss Halloween!

So Saturday morning we painted and carved pumpkins. I love to carve pumpkins, but alas my children are two of the only kids in the world that don't like to get messy so they were given paint and brushes.

So Preston and I carved our own.

This year we decided just to blindly carve without drawing it on first, Preston did a great one with hands and all!

I decided mine needed something extra on the sides so I gave her ears and earrings.

Then when it got dark we went to our wards "Trunker Treat"--Without the trunks though, we were on the ball field in a big circle with chairs.

Kya was the cutest butterfly princess!

And Baden was the best looking cowboy!

Press was an ASU fan and I was a Pirate!

The whole dressed up family!

Then we went to my mom & dads ward shindig. It looked like the spooky fair got dropped in someones backyard... I'm not joking! It was amazing!

Swing the eyeball to knock the skulls.

A graveyard to dig in.

Spin to win a prize.

Monster Toss

We had a fun night! Minus the fact that I came home with the chills and felt like I was going to die!

Happy Halloween!
