Halloween 2016

 

Halloween is the holiday of choice for our family... unfortunately, moving 2 days before, put a little bit of a damper of the festivities.

 

But, we rallied the best we could- and still managed to pull off the chaotic (tiring) holiday!

 

Leading up to Halloween:



 

 

Grandma Jones threw a little Halloween shindig where the kids colored pumpkins, and made cookies.

They loved it!

 

 

 

 

Jack got amped for costume-wearing with Grandpa Curt's Friar Tuck on the night before the big day!



 

 

 

And, our tradition continued of visiting "The Halloween House" here in Lehi.

 

Always my kids' favorite, and Jack's aspiration for adulthood... he dreams of having our house be "The Halloween House"

 

 

 

And, for the big day...

 

COSTUMES:

 

 

 

 

*For reference.

 

 

Tucker was Emmett from the Lego Movie.

 

 

He remained in Lego character pretty much all day.

Yellow skin, and cupped hands...he was Emmett.

 

 

 

 

 

Russ settled for a hand-me-down (duh...he's the third kid) lion.

 

 

And Mr. Halloween was none other than....

 

Jack Skellington.

 

(I did that face paint job...not bad if I do say so myself.)

 

What a shocker...Jack fully in character.

 

Russell and I went to Jack's parade, where Mr. Skellington was a hit..and he knew it.

 

 

I was also able to help in his class party that afternoon.

 

 

Later that night, we went to Annie's for soup and trick-or-treating and ended the night visiting Grandma and Grandpa Jones up in Alpine.

 

Oh... and weren't we lucky.. we even had Little Bear over Halloween.

We had *just a few*  things going on the end of October.
