Our Halloween

So our Halloween consisted of some new traditions! For the first time we let the kids carve pumpkins. 6 boyz + knives never founded fun to me! But they did a good job. Most of them even enjoyed the goopy insides!



Ryan did a haunted house, aka the Addams Family house.

Bryce did an owl.

Comptyn's was a cat, Nathan's was a skeleton head and Daniel did a goofy face. Sammy drew on his a few days before. He didn't want to cut on his drawing!

For the last 2 years we have 'avoided' Halloween. 2 years ago we were in SLC with President Monson. Last year Kevin's parents moved to Reno to start their mission in the temple presidency and we were camping over there. It has been kindof nice! So I kept thinking we should probably do something, but kept putting it off. Well a week before I got sick and then passed it to other family members. So we sat at home and handed out candy and watched the Addams Family. (Trick-or-Treating was Saturday here in Fallon)

We did do a new tradition for FHE on Halloween.....dipped apples. It was SO much fun! We have some families over to join in the sugar! We did white chocolate with crushed oreos for cookies & cream. Caramel & milk chocolate. We melted red hots and did a candied red apple. We had campfire marshmallows and crushed graham crackers and a s'more. SO fun and yummy! We had fun and will definately do it again! Thanks to Koenigs, Sommers & Bartons for joining and making it so fun!
