Halloween!

We love Halloween at our house! It is complete with the Elementary Halloween Parade, carving pumpkins, trick-or-treating, a party for KayDee and Jenna (since I am a mean mom and told them they are too old to go trick-or-treating), the Chili cookoff, and best of all...COSTUMES!

Here are some pics of our eventful Halloween. First up...costumes!






I didn't dress Jackson up, but did buy him a cute little Frankenstein shirt and pants. I figured that was okay.


Next, the Halloween Party that my sisters Tiff and Lex  threw. The kids had a great time, Lex did all the games and Tiff helped with the food. Here are some pics of her amazing cupcake and brownie creations! She is so talented! I'm jealous!!






Lex had all kinds of little game stations and activities for the kids. They had so much fun!






Every year, our Elementary school does a Halloween parade for the kids to wear their costumes on a march through the school. Parents are invited to come and watch and this year David, Jack, and myself went to check out all the unique costumes! The pics are a little fuzzy, I was trying to get them while the kids were walking by.


Jack was anxiously awaiting the parade to start!

And last but certainly not least, the chili cookoff! Our ward does their Halloween/Chili Cookoff party every year. It is our most attended event! I took my AWESOME ;) chili and entered this year. Guess what?! I won first place!! Oh yeah!!!! Here was my amazing prize:

The night of Halloween I made KD and Jen and their friends numerous snacks and treats and they planted themselves down to watch Dark Shadows in my living room. Debra, Brit, Jennye and their kids as well as Madi, Andrew and I went trick-or-treating in my neighborhood. The kids got loaded up with candy and we all had a great time! Lucky for us it was a warm year, we are usually trick-or-treating in the snow! I had a wonderful time and love seeing the happiness and excitement on my children's faces.
