Halloween 2010

This years Halloween was really fun. We started our celebrating out by attending a Halloween dinner at the Primary Presidents home the Thursday evening before. I am a counselor in the Primary presidency at church and it was a dinner for all the adult leaders involved with Primary and their spouses. It was super fun and lots of yummy halloween treats. We had to come up with a game to play so Kurt and I had everyone play Mafia. Mafia always goes over BIG and this case was no exception. We played it for the rest of the evening and everyone had tons of fun.
Saturday the 30th we did our main celebration of Halloween, since we do not let our kids trick or treat on Sundays. There was a HUGE party at our church that our primary was in charge of, and another ward participated as well so there were a ton of people. It was really fun, tons of things to do. Lots of games, food, cake walk, a photographer, a bounce house, etc. We decorated our car for the trunk or treat into a giant monster (I'm sad we do not have a photo). We also don't have a family photograph from the party. Since I was helping with the event we didn't have a chance to get our camera out, but we did have the photographer take a family photo so we should have that soon. Kurt and I dressed up as Popeye and Olive Oyl, Maddox was Sweet Pea, Alaina was Dorothy, and Emmitt was the tin man.
Sunday, Halloween day we decided to have a get together at my parents home and bring all kinds of Halloween goodies. That morning before heading to church I made some Pumpkin popcorn balls,

Baked pumpkin doughnuts or as Kurt calls them, "triple dippin doughdees"

and triple layer spider dip with bat chips.

The kids had so much fun playing together and watching How to Train a Dragon, and we enjoyed plenty of yummy treats. My sister in law made this really cute Scarecrow out of cupcakes, it was too cute to eat. A great Halloween!

Cute girlies- Courtney as Minnie Mouse, Alaina as Dorothy, and Ava as Lil Red Riding Hood.

The best of friends!
