All dressed up for the first time ever! I am usually the one that doesn't like to spend the time or money on costumes for myself, but this year things had changed. I bought everyone a new costume, including Brady & I. Friday the 29th, our family was invited by our friends (Bill & Emily Thresher) to a Family Halloween Party, with pumpkin carving, contests and dinner; everyone had a blast! Madison won 2nd place in the pumpkin carving contest out of 18 kids; she lost 1st place to her best friend Kaysha. She also won 2nd place for the best kids costume. The Heiner family won second place for the best family costumes. Brady, Madison & I were all Hippies, Taylor was a Haunted Woopie Cushion, Anamarie was Super Girl, Brett was little Frankenstein, and William was a baby.
Saturday the 30th was officially Halloween in Utah. I decided to not only "go big" on the costumes, but the candy as well. I bought 3 large boxes of regular candy bar sizes from Costco; Snickers, Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, and M&M's. When the trick or treaters came to the door they had to roll a dice, and depending on the number that they rolled, that would be the candy bar they got. 1 or 4= M&M's, 2 or 5 = Reece's, 3 or 6 = snickers. The kids thought it was fun; especially Anamarie & Brett. When the kids would leave the door, Brett would yell "aah ow-een"; Translations: Happy Halloween!
