Actual Factual Halloween

So for Halloween night we got to hang out with two skunks, a donkey, a midnight fairy and a pink cheetah.

We started our night out right by going to Cafe Rio for dinner with Jen's brother Chad, and his family, Sarah, Sariah, and Emma. After a yummy dinner (thanks Chad and Sarah!) we went to the Andersons neighborhood for some trick or treating fun. Sariah dressed up as a Midnight Fairy (is this different from a fairy at other times of the night?) and Emma was a Pink Cheetah.

After Bo and Luke were skunked over the summer at our family cabin we couldn't resist buying the Skunk costumes we saw for them at Target. The costumes were just $7.99 each so we considered it a good deal. They were both adorable in their costumes and it was just further proof we need kids to dress up asap. We had a great time, Sariah even shared some of her candy with us.

This is the donkey, Chad's dog, who's name is in fact Donkey...

I couldn't help but think of the upcoming holidays as we drove by a strip mall with a red sign out front that read "Seasons Greetings". I want the other holidays back!!! We are excited for the upcoming holidays and for the memories that will come as we celebrate. Happy Halloween!

All Hallows Eve

So, tonight was our ward's Halloween party. So, instead of doing the traditional trunk-or-treat we had it inside. We had a chili cook-off (more on that later), carnival games, carmel apples, a cookie decorating station and the class rooms were decorated and candy was given out there.

Jenafer and I won the Best overall on the chili...and the prize??? A wooden spoon. Very exciting, now we can say it is indeed award winning chili. A recipe, I might add that we got from Jen's mom, who created it. So the congratulations should go to her. Go Kath!

David was a Rock Star and Jena was his groupie, and if you ask me, we looked hot. And yes I, David had on make up and black nail polish...Jen was my make-up and hair artist. But, I put on the nail polish all by myself!

This is Warren, about the cutest little kangaroo in the world...if only you could see his tail and the way he hopped.

And our favorite...other than ourselves, of course....
