Halloween Extravaganza!

 Halloween kicked off Friday night with pumpkin carving! We were lucky to have our good friends, Rory, Liam and Autumn come over and help us!

 Liam and Ellie ready to dig in!
 Autumn wanted to see what we were doing but wasn't too interested in helping!!


 Ewwww! Yucky, slimy fun!!  Libby, Indy and Rory dug right in!

 Rory took a picture for us! Aww!  I love Ellie's scared face!

 It was so so much fun! I carved a princess face and Jared carved a scary Batman! The kids loved them!

 Then after all our hard work we all enjoyed some pumpkin spice Krispy Kremes and watched The Great Pumpkin on TV!

Trick or Treating!
 Saturday was a super wet day!  We had a family and friends come over soup before we went out to brave the storm! We all thought we were going to be trick or treating under umbrellas!  But just as we headed out the door the rain stopped for the rest of the night! Yay!

 What??? People just drop candy in my bucket!?? This is awesome!

 Most of the gang! They had so much fun together!


 Milo and his cousin Liam are best buds! We are having so much fun watching them grow up together!


I took Indy, Rory and Libby out for extra trick or treating! I had so much fun just being with the big kids! And boy did they get loaded!  After we got home and everyone left the kids got to stay up and watch Halloween specials and eat as much candy as they wanted! Aubree stayed and hung out with us which was fun because usually she has plan with her friends! After the kids were in bed Jared, Aubree and I watch all the Halloween episodes of our favorite shows like: Office, Community, and Outsourced and we got lots of good laughs out of those!!

Halloween Day!
We had a fabulous Halloween Dinner Party at Jared's parents house! We had a blast! The table was decorated with costume apparel and the girls had so much fun picking which chair to sit at!
All the spookiness even changed carrots into witches noses!

After dinner we turned down the lights and Grandpa read us a scary/fun story that was perfect for the kids! Grandma passed around bags filled with "eyeballs", "hair", "brains" and "fingers"!  The kids loved the suspense of sticking their hands in the bag to see what it was! Even Milo loved it! He loved being scared and he kept saying "spooky"!! 

I think this was the best Halloween yet!!
