Just a quick overview of all our Halloween festivities. The kids enjoyed a costume parade and class parties at school (something that is not always done anymore!) Mom got to help out with Andrew's party. That night, Grammy and Papa Rick came over to decorate the traditional graveyard cake...lots of fun...the cake was buried in decorations! Saturday, we went to a neighborhood party at the Wade's house. To say they are into Halloween is an understatement. They have a full size coffin in their lv room and a graveyard in their front yard! We had a great time...Chad and I won for funniest costumes! (Chad went as a tattooed rock star and I was some sort of witch). Monday night, we had a traditional Halloween FHE at G'ma Chris and Papa Bruce's house. Lots of fun...the highlight had to be the doughnut eating contest. We had doughnuts hanging from strings and the kids had to eat them with their hands behind their backs.
Halloween night, we finally got our pumpkins carved. Mom did the good ol'Papa Murphy's pumpkin-shaped pizza with the witches brew rootbeer.
I think the was one of the first years I dressed up (thanks to Chad's mom and Mary for loaning me bits and pieces!). I got to go trick or treating w/ the kids, too (Chad usually goes). By far the best part was watching Jenna. She had a ball...absolutely loved...was so into it! She wanted nothing to do with the stroller. She was running door to door right along the big kids. It was so fun to see her "get it!"

Hey Julie-
Awww, witches brew root beer. I used to do that all the time when my kids were young. It was so hard to find dry ice in NY and I got out of the habit...I think I'll surprise them next year and do it again. Looks like a fun time. Halloween is such a fun holiday for kids! (and grown-ups!)
It looks like you have a great Halloween. The kids look great. I am tagging you. That means you get to share 6 things we may not know about you. You then get to tag 6 of your friends. Hope you enjoy. I look forward to learning more about you.
