Happy Halloween!

I love halloween.  It is ONE of my favorite holidays. No pressure. . . just loads of fun and lots of candy.  Hannah and Isaac are at such a fun age for this holiday.  They were looking forward to it since the middle of September (when I put up our halloween decorations ;) ).



This year Hannah dressed up as Jessie from Toy Story.  Her homemade costume turned out great (kinda proud of myself).  The yarn wig was my favorite! 



Isaac was Ironman (for the school carnival and library story time) and he dressed up as Batman for trick or treating.  He couldn't decide on just one.  Its fun to have dress-up clothes!

The school carnival at Hannah Holbrook Elementary was great.  The kids got their faces painted, played lots of games, ate lots of candy, got to meet Batman (after a great deal of convincing that he was a nice Batman), and we all just enjoyed being together as a family! I even ate a caramel apple . . .YUM!!


For trick or treating we joined our good friends, The Stepans, in Farmington.  They live in a large, flat neighborhood where the homes are close together.  A perfect location for obtaining optimum amounts of  candy!  

That evening Jay and I decided to join in the costume fun.   


 I dressed up as Kat Von D (a heavily tattooed tattoo artist from LA) and Jay dressed up as Bill Walton (a b-ball player from the 70's). (Just a side note: the bandana, shorts, spandex, socks and knee pads were all mine - hehe).



We had a very fun night!  The weather was great (for Utah) and the company was awesome.  The kids were very proud of their candy collection.  Happy Halloween!


So grateful that the snow decided to wait until November 1st to arrive!!!!
