Hallows Eve 2016

I think Halloween has to be one of the kiddo's favorite holidays.  They love dressing up and all the festivities that come with it.  

We carved pumpkins the week before Halloween and they quickly fuzzed up inside... whoops!  Super fun designing and carving none the less.

Our neighbors always put on the best block party each year.  I was out with the Beehives for their well earned Halloween party, but Cody took the kiddos and had a blast!  Great food, fun, and company as always.

Bri handpicked her Tinker Bell costume well in advance, and was so excited to show it off at her preschool Halloween party.  Her and her bestie, Claire, were so cute in their costumes! 



Of course she wanted to wear it to ballet class too!  Such a cute Tink she was.


It was so fun picking a Star Wars theme for our family costumes, too.  After Jaden had a Star Wars theme for his birthday, it was an easy choice.  

We picked them out online and loved getting each package delivered to our door.  Jaden's and mine arrived first:)


Then Brielle and Landon's.  Seriously so cute.  

Bri wasn't a huge fan of the wig (so itchy!), but was adorable in her own little buns.  I tried my hand at a Rey hairdo too.

Cody didn't pick his costume until the last minute.  He didn't want to do anything too ordinary, soooo.... he settled on Jabba the Hutt!  It was stinkin' hilarious, I loved watching him waddle around in his inflated glory.

Jaden with his buddies, Hudson and Shawn.

Sweet Hailey in the ward and I rocked out our Rey costumes.  Bri loved going around with her gal pals, Marley and Claire.

Hailey's little brother was the cutesiest little Yoda so we had to snap a pic with the awesome Yodas.

We invited some friends over after trick-or-treating for pizza and an outdoor movie.  Always a fun holiday.

Happy Halloween!

Looking back on the school year.
