Halloween Festivities

Halloween seemed like it lasted all weekend long with adult parties for the adults in the family and kid fun for the kids in the family.  Parties started on Saturday night for Aly and her friend Britney.  Remember when they went as this?

Our new favorite tradition is going over to the Karges Home for the 2nd Annual Karges Karved Pumpkin Contest.  This year, we had more participants, and a lot of very creative pumpkins.  The winners this year of the coveted Grand Prize?  Kade and Jacque!  But all the pumpkins were fun to watch and the judges had a hard time deciding.

Monday night we all met over at Grammy and Grampy's house for some treats and pictures.  My poor parents go through so much candy...at least 3 Cost-Co packages and extras from all of us!

Aly ended her night with a date to a dance.  They looked sharp together!

I was so excited to see all my Primary kids...but only 4 came by :(  I even had great big candy bars ready for them.  Sometimes, living on a secluded street with only 3 houses is not very much fun!  Maybe next year!!
