We love Halloween in our family! We
love to dress up. This year Gavin was
a cuddly, fuzzy bunny. He is sooo cute!
I had made this costume for Brogan
when he was Gavin's age. I am so glad
we could get some more use out of it!
Brogan talks all year about what he wants to
be for Halloween. I think it is his favorite
holiday. This year he decided to be a bumble bee.
He has really enjoyed the"Bee Movie" and got his
idea from watching that. Doesn't he make an
absolutely adorable bee!
Aunt Tressie spent part of Halloween night with
us. She came for dinner then went to our ward's
"Trunk-or-Treat" with us. She wore a very original
costume....She was a "deviled egg"! HaHa!
I was a mommy bumble bee this year. We
had actually bought the wings and anntenae
for Brogan's costume, but they ended up being
way too big. So I decided to be a mommy bee!
I actually convinced Seth to dress up this year.
He never dresses up for Halloween. So he is
the daddy bunny! Yay for Seth!
We make a crazy family of Bunny's and Bee's!
Alex came to spend the night so we were
able to see he and his family all dressed up!
My friend Shelly gave me the idea to make our
meals fun and festive on Halloween. So we
started our day out with ghosty pancakes and
jack-o-lantern pancakes. They did not turn out
exactly the way I hoped they would, but my kids
thought they were neat!For lunch we had "Boo Bugs" (which are just
mini pigs in a blanket dressed up to look like
bugs), orange soda, and orange chips. The kids
thought the bugs were great!
For dinner I made everything orange or almost
orange. Sloppy Joes, orange jello, orange chips
orange kool-aid with orange soda! We had aunt
Tressie over to share our holiday meal!


Sorry about the million leaf pictures of my boys. I still haven't figured out the slide show thing. The pictures were too cute to not show them all!
