Everyone was in the Halloween Spirit this year, everyone except Mom! Dave was a bowling nerd, Katelyn Dr. Evil, Aubrey a princess, (she definitely has the hair for it!) and Andrew a Firefighter.  The family all dressed up for our annual Ward Halloween party.

Katelyn wanted to be Dr. Evil this year.  Everyone was surprised by her pick, they thought she was too sweet to be evil.  I think she had a great idea and she executed it well.  She was very scary, all her little friends loved the body parts!

The kids had a lot of fun with their costumes.  After a visit to the Braegger house (Thanks Heather!), the kids decided that it would be fun to dress up in something new. LtoR: Andrew (skunk), Aubrey (bunny) & Jensen (ghost).

We all love the skunk costume.  It has been a favorite in the Braegger household and ours!  Aubrey was the skunk a few years ago and still remembers it.  I think this costume couldn't be more fitting for Andrew, he is a little stinker!

Kids getting ready to head out for Trick or Treating.

It was a rainy and cold this year.  Dave and I have a understanding.  If it's a cold year for Trick or Treating, he's taking the kids out.  I am not one who likes the cold.

Pumpkin Season

We were given a bunch of small pumpkin's from our friends the Stowe's.  The kids had a lot of fun with them and enjoyed sharing them with our neighbors.

Pumpkin Girl!

We enjoyed paining our pumpkins.  Painting pumpkins is so much easier to do than carve pumpkins especially when you have little kids.

Dave always has a Utah Utes pumpkin every year.  Go Utes!

Katelyn painted a pumpkin for her teacher and one for me.  Mine was pink with red and purple polka dots.

Ah, Witchie my best friend!

Annie and the princess

She makes a beautiful princess!

Katelyn decided to be "Annie" for the ward Halloween party.
Grandma Mona helped us out with the dress-up clothes.
We love Grandma Mona!

"Annie with her dog Sandy"

It was very special to me that Katelyn decided to be "Annie" for Halloween. As a young girl, I loved Annie and I even had a Annie dress and dog Sandy. Our family went to St. George this summer and saw the play. My girls have fallen in love with her, much like their mother. You can often find one of my girls singing songs from the play.
"Tomorrow, Tomorrow - I love you!"

"Trick-or-Treat"

Katelyn was a witch for trick-or-treating!

Katelyn and Aubrey with their pumpkins that they carved and painted.
Watch out Princess, there is a scary witch behind you!
