Halloween 2011

So this year we (me and the children) drove up north to have Halloween with the Lefevre’s. We had SO much fun, but really missed Jon.

Matt and Angie’s ward threw an awesome party that Matt and I took all the children too. The following are pictures from the party.

I misplaced my camera and so I don’t have any pictures of the children going door to door the night of. Bums me out since it was their first door to door treating experience.

Our little Vampire

Kaylee the Lady Bug and Cylest the witch.

Kaylee trying to decide IF she wanted her face painted.

She decided that she did. Although she looked scared the whole time.

Then it was time for Witches brew with “brains.”

There was a beautiful mermaid. Kaylee was speechless.

So we HAD to get a picture.

Regan had so much fun riding my hip all night. This was how happy he was when I let him down for the magic show.

Kaylee thought the magic show was awesome.

And it really really was.

Loved that these two held hands the whole time.

Back at the house the boys had a jam session.

Matt joined them.

Cylest loves to dress Kaylee up. Hair make-up and all. Kaylee loves it too.

Kaylee tried riding a scooter for the first time.

Matt helped her out after a fall.

Kaylee thought that driving home in a blizzard was neat.

Regan was feeling her excitement.

So clearly I found/remembered were I put my camera. I was SO happy about it!

The blizzard added an extra hour to the drive home. I asked Kaylee several times if she wanted a potty break. She just kept telling me to keep driving. So we did. 5 hours latter we were home.

It was a great mini vacation for us. It’s always fun being with the LeFevre’s and it was a much needed change of pace from packing house.

Halloween: part 2 the carni and trunk-or-treat

Kaylee was so funny doing the ring toss. She would walk up to the witches hat and place the ring on it. Ya. She earned/won that sticker prize! And Regan held the fishing pole for about 5 seconds before tossing it. But he enjoyed the stick whistle that we won from that game.

I only brought 1/2 the candy we bought. We bought a TON. It was gone in minutes. Jon had to run home (just a block away) and break into the locked house. The second 1/2 went just as fast. We headed home after we ran out of candy. Oh, and our 10 trunk decorations got an honorable mention, and a free ice cream cone! Next year we may put actual effort into it.

I took the children around to the very closes vehicles while Jon was breaking into the house. Dad was kind to tag along and snap some photos for me.

Regan I think had fun for his first Halloween experience. He sure enjoyed the way it ended. Although I ended up prying that Whopper out of his cold hands later that night.

Kaylee won a free frosty in a three way tie for her age group costume contest. So another BIG thank you to Auntie Jill!

Halloween: the pre show

The Monday before Halloween we carved our pumpkins for our Family Home Evening activity. It may go better next year. We will just leave it at that.

We thought our Pumpkins turned out nicely though.

The Wednesday before Halloween Kaylee pulled out the costumes and requested a photo shoot. And since I never say no to a photo op I happily pulled out the camera. Then she said she wanted her camera so she could take pictures (Papa’s old broken one). Which worked out great. Regan REALLY wanted her wand.

***BIG BIG thank you to Aunts Jill & Cole for providing us with some CUTE costumes!!!***
