Halloween 2008

This year our ward did a trunk or treat/ Chili cook off on Halloween. We invited Jen and Blake and their cute kids Calvin and Nina to come with us. we all had a great time.

We decided to go with a princess theme, I know girly, but Dallin wanted to be a handsome prince and I know that this is a stage that wont last so I thought "why not" Dallin didn't understand why everyone thought he was a pirate, I guess we should have forgone the pirate hat...

Grant was a cute jester/clown. we couldn't resist he looked adorable! he was the cutest with his wig but that of course didn't stay on longer then half a second.

Katelyn was going to be a beautiful princess up until it was time to put on her costume and then she wanted to be Dorothy from the wizard of Oz. we threw something together that she was happy with and called her Dorthy, unfortunately she had a hard time pronouncing it and kept calling herself "dorky" when people asked. she grew tired of the chuckles and soon refrained from answering all together. she is a cutie!

one of the main attractions of the night was Cameron's amazing pumpkin, yes that right, one single pumpkin with three carvings, we were doing a sleeping beauty theme up until 5 minutes before Katelyn put on her costume, so Cameron did sleeping beauty's castle the Dragon and the three fairies. I spent even more time on a castle made a felt to decorate the trunk, a castle that in the end we couldn't figure out how to pin up so it would stay on the trunk, therefore a castle that no one saw.

the Trunk or treat had a carnival type theme to it, the young women did a fishing game and a feel table, the primary did a cake walk and the Relief society did mini golf and relay races.

We had a great time.
