Merry Christmas!!

JK!

Happy Halloween!

(Christmas to follow shortly)

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit for Caden's birthday and Halloween.

It's very nice when Grandma's around for Halloween because she does all the fantastic makeup.

(even Caden wanted her to work her magic - he sat down when she was packing up after doing the girls, she turned around and realized she had another customer)

KD was a beauty queen witch.

Her eyebrows were her pride and joy.

Taffy didn't want the eyebrows so she ended up looking like a witch more her age, hee, hee.

Sarah was a zombie which turned into a 3-bodied monster. 

These three friends from church wanted to be a 3-headed monster.

They talked it up every week and each of the three moms were wondering how we were going to make it happen. . . but then another girl from church called and said she had made them a 3-headed monster body.  What an awesome friend!!  If you look at Sarah's legs you can imagine how she enjoyed walking at the ward trunk or treat.

Timo was Dr. Who

(we miss the Bowler's)

Caden was Dracula with an interesting twist.

(I can't remember what it was right now - I'll have to ask and get back with you)

And Benny helped the little ladies trunk or treating.

(She was a lovely Katniss at the youth Halloween activity.)

The youth ran games for all the younger children.

Jaycie has found her calling - holding donuts on a stick for people to eat - and wants to pursue teaching in the future.  She is loving little kids.

 Maybe KD should have been Sleeping Beauty instead of a witch, eh?

We had a Halloween game night with Zombie Tag,

(which is awesome when the fog rolls in and you're hiding near the woods wondering if the coyote's are around)

and watched the traditional Disney "Ichabod Crane" while the older kids and dads set up the traditional "Spooky Walk".

It's hard to tell who has more fun with this "Spooky Walk", the participants or those that put it on.

Jeremy was out buying a swamp monster camo suit 15 minutes before the party started.

(Jaycie, Benny, Logan, the boogey man, swamp monster, Reed, camo dad who came out of one of the decorative grasses (scared me!), and Landon.)

Happy Halloween!!

Now on to Christmas. . .
