Well, it has come and gone and we had a great Halloween. So grateful for the nice weather and good company while we sat on the front porch handing out candy. This is the first year Sydney has gone trick or treating with friends (without mom or dad) and Morgan went around the neighborhood with her friend Maddie and her dad. Joel, Shelley and their kids came over as did Layne, Julie and Mylee and we had an enjoyable evening eating pizza and Krispy Kreme donuts (compliments of the Olsen family who give out a box of a dozen donuts per kid every year!) Kendra had more fun giving out (and of course, eating!) the candy as people came to the door and we ended the evening with a visit up to Grandma and Grandpa Harris'.

Neighborhood Halloween Party
Yes, another Halloween Party and it's not even Halloween yet! Fun to hang out with our "neighborhood family", though. They had dinner, at least 6 booths including a cake walk and fortune teller, a dance and showed a movie on the big screen right in the middle of the culdesac. A few of us dressed up in 80's fashion and sang back up for our friend who was Madonna. Yes, I did it and yes, it was embarassing! The things we do for friends.... (it was her wedding anniversary and she dressed as Madonna and sang "Holiday" but their last name is "Halliday" and changed the words to dedicate the song to her hubby....)
The Witches Party
I have another fabulous sister in law (lets face it, all my sisters in law are fabulous!) that threw a "Witches" party for 2 of her daughters and 45, yes I said forty five of their friends!! Everyone dressed up as witches (Shelley included) and they did 2 hours of fun activities! They went on a scavenger hunt for things like dead flies, a toenail, fake spiders, witches wart, etc. Then they put those things in the "witches brew". (aka homemade rootbeer) She fed them dinner, they watched "Charlie Browns Halloween" and then played some games. I'll tell ya, I'm so grateful for the wonderful people in our lives who take the time and energy to create such fun memories for our family! Here are some pics of the girls before they headed out....

A few years ago our sweet and amazingly talented sister in law (Therans wife) started the very great tradition of an annual Halloween Party. It's been a fun idea and such a crack up to see what everyone dresses up as every year. (for a family that can be pretty uncreative ~ me included ~ we've come up with some good costumes!) A shout out to Taylor, Val and Isaac who weren't here this year, we missed you!
