Halloween 2011

 Halloween this year was so much fun.  Our Ward did a Fall Festival that the Primary was in charge of. (That would be me:)  I was a little frustrated with the timing because we had just finished the Primary Program a few weeks prior, and I was still decompressing from that.  But, it ended up being such a great party, I felt guilty that I started off with a bad attitude! 
Makaylee was a cute pink witch this year.  Aleeya and Rowen were so adorable in Cowboy/ Cowgirl outfits!  Aleeya's (borrowed) cowgirl boots got a lot of attention!   Aleeya figured out he whole trick-or-treating thing so fast!  She was so funny, she would go up to the door and say "Trick or Treat"  and then she would ALWAYS yell "Thankyou!"  The kids trick or treated with Terrill for such a LONG time, I was starting to get worried.  But, apparently it was Aleeya that was not ready to come home!  She asked to go trick or treat for days afterwards!
 
My parents Annual Halloween Party was such a blast!  It is my favorite thing about Halloween. 
Apparently I got a little carried away with my costume this year (in comparison to the other adults, anyway.)  Jeni kept teasing my by singing "One of these things is not like the other!"

Homestead & The Heber Valley Railroad





This Halloween we went on the Heber Valley Railroad "Pumpkin Patch" train.  It (very slowly) took us on a scenic ride to a "pumpkin patch" where we each got to choose a pumpkin to decorate.  We were served cookies and hot chocolate, and the kids acted almost as excited as if we were on a Disneyland ride (which is a good thing, since it almost cost as much as a Disneyland ride!)  After the ride we went to the Homestead and stayed the night in our favorite "Bunk House."  The kids LOVE Homestead, and I love the simplicity and beauty of it, too.  I have a feeling this may be a tradition in the making.Posted by Picasa
