Halloween Weekend

Halloween typically seems to be crazy going from one thing to the next, but always so much fun. Class parties were a big hit this year, First Grade carved pumpkins and Third Grade did the craft stations, games, and yummy food.

McKenna and her best friend Emilie

From class parties to the Ward trunk-or-treat...this year we stepped it up a little and actually decorated our car as a giant mouth. The ward did a parade before trunk-or-treat and the kids ate it up...unfortunately no pics.

Saturday morning we carved our pumpkins...Gavin loved watching everyone, but would not for the life of him touch the pumpkin guts.

Abby...every so meticulous

The finished products...minus Abby who ran inside upset about something.

From pumpkins to a fun family party. Eyeball bulls eye, whoopee cousin musical chairs, family character skits, witches brew, monster ball, and donuts on a string...so much fun. I have to just insert here that the Crane family dominated the donut on a string game. We ate our donuts, no hands, in 11 seconds! As soon as they fell off the string we all hit our bellies fast.

And of course, trick-or-treating in the neighborhood with friends.

I have to add that our kids choose to re-use old costumes in order to save money for the dog fund! Abby was a 50's girl, McKenna a witch, Zachary was Batman, and Gavin was Robin.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
