Happy Halloween in Utah

We had a lot of fun this Halloween with lots of parties and events! The boys had a Trunk-or-Treat carnival at their school and we all dressed up for our ward Trunk-or-Treat as well. The boys also got to dress up at school for a big Halloween party and parade that Sis and I were able to watch.

Don't let the grumpy face fool you, he was so happy,
 but hated all the pictures I wanted to take.

After the parade I loaded the kids in the car and drove up north to spend the weekend with my family.  Our drive was great as usually but we did have a 45 min delay when a semi stalled and broke down on the one lane section in the Gorge. Thankfully the kids were good while waiting. We clipped fingernails and walked around and I even helped Riley squat on the side of the road so she could pee. Thankfully we got there safely and were able to do so many fun things. We got to visit with my Gramma Goodie and play in the leaves at Gram and Grampa Henrie's.

On Halloween we went to Hee Haw Farms in Pleasant Grove for some fall fun and then later we all dressed up for a Soup Social that my mom's ward does every year followed by Trick-or-Treating.

These girls are so funny. Usually they don't get along all to well as they are always vying for attention, but this trip they were great friends! They held hands everywhere. My favorite was them holding hands while Trick-or-Treating. 

This little train was a highlight! We could not get the girls to get off.
They went around and around and around.

Carter went as Peter Pan's Shadow

My brother Dane made Braden's Night Wing costume
as well as his own Death Stroke costume.

I made Riley's and my costumes. I saw the idea for the glamorous Wicked Witch
costume online and just had to make it. I was originally going to make it for Sis
but then decided to make it for myself. Riley wanted to be a witch so I told her
she was a Dorothy Witch. After getting up north, my mom decided to have me
help her make the rest of the Wizard of Oz gang to match.

The day after Halloween we celebrated Pappy's 60th Birthday with a big surprise party. It was so fun to see my aunts, uncles and cousins. It was also great to do something special for Gary; he is the greatest! Our last day up north we did some shopping at Savers and then headed up to my sister Megan's house to celebrate Navy's 3rd Birthday at a fun party and then dinner as a family afterwards.

Happy Birthday Navers!
