Halloween 2011

Halloween is no small deal around here.  We started nearly a week before Halloween with the ward party, had a school carnival, class parties, trick or treating and then a party at Grandma’s.  The kids loved every minute of it!

The girls were all so excited to dress up for school.  Jeff was rather excited himself.

For the time time in 4 years Mitchy was not with us on Halloween.  We missed him like crazy.  He sent us this photo.  He was some sort of Star Wars guy.  If I get specific I will get it wrong so I’ll leave it at that!

Jeff was a “rocker” and so funny!!  He wore his costume all day!  Hilarious!  Love the zebra spandex!

Jordan and I started out by throwing her class party at 9:15 a.m, in the morning on Halloween Day.  Her teacher wanted a “spooky breakfast” and it turned out great!

I picked up the kids after school and took them to ifrogz to trick or treat at his office.  They scored, seriously!  Their candy bags were full.  They every got ear buds. Nice!

Jeff works with some of the most gracious and wonderful people!  Thank you to all of them.  The kids had a great time and scored some serious “loot.”

After ifrogz we made our traditional stop at the shop to see Grandpa and Gayle.  The kids love Gayle and she is a household name!

We then headed downtown to trick or treat main street.  Again, the kids scored some serious goods.

We then headed home for Trick 0r Treating.  This is our first year in our new neighborhood but because we had lived near we knew that a lot of trick or treaters came to the neighborhood.  There were no breaks in the door bell ringing.  It was really fun.  I stayed home to answer the door thinking I may get a few things done.  Not so!  Answered the door all night.  Gave away nearly 250 candy bars.

Baby Kinnick’s first Halloween.  Jord could not wait to get back to Kim’s house to hold him!  After Trick or Treating we went to Grandma and Grandpas.  The kids were so hyped up I thought I may beat them all… Not really.  They had a great time!  When I was a child we used to go to Grandma and Grandpa Pickett’s for spaghetti after we were done Trick 0r Treating.  My mom has continued the tradition.  We ate spaghetti, did a pinata and traded treats!
