This year for our Halloween party we got together with a friend to make things come together, because I was not able to dedicate the time needed to pull off a really cool party with the new baby, and it worked out great. I took care of all of the food, and Bree took care of all of the decorations, so we each worked on what we were most comfortable with.
Our 'theme' was haunted house, and out invitations were severed fingers - perfectly creepy, I know.
I was able to get some pictures of costumes, but missed a bunch as the party started. Jordan was a head in the freezer,
and I was the 'cereal' killer that put him there. He was voted best costume.
Bree was an ipod add, adn Brandon a pirate - ha ha he was pirating her music.
Keshia just looked amazing, and we will call her an angel of darkness.
We also had a cameo from Taylor Swift, Dora and Diego, a monkey, a woman's purse
and a few others.
Bree did not disappoint on decorations,
I only got a few shots,
and missed pictures of tons of the deatils that she thought to include,
but her place looked amazing.
We carved pumpkins - oops, no pictures of that, and Diego took home our cool prize filled with candy.
We ate bones with garlic dip, and marinara,
a pumpkin cheese ball,
eyeballs on a fork,
worms, witches fingers, spider web dip
and had some special sodas including vampire blood, and zombie virus.
we watched a scary movie - Jordan is talented at choosing movies that truly disturb me, and others.
Overall, I would say that it was a fun night, and I look forward to next year, and to find out what Jordan would like me to work on then.
made some caramel apples, and decorated Sugar cookies. We had a quick discussion on service before hand, and then went and dropped off some goodies to a few people. It was super funny to watch Ethan decorate. It started off with him licking the icing as he went, and then he kind of got the hang of it, but unlike most kids who load on the icing he got really conservative. 
Both boys love to hold their sister, and have finally figured out how to do it without me having to hold her.
Ethan has also brought that analytical thinking to the magnets on the fridge. Sometimes it is the letters, and sometimes it is the David and Goliath magnets, but it is all the same - one long line.
It was slightly yellow with age, but look beautiful, especially with the small sweater that my grandma made to go with it. 
I think this is such a special gift, and am looking forward to telling her all about it when she is older.
I think it is great that we have family willing to take chocolaty kisses from my boys!
I covered letters with scrapbook paper, 
made a valence using scraps from her quilt, 
used vinyl bugs and butterfly's, 
and a wall light from Ikea (I love this light, it is so soft and pretty, and made nursing her at night a lot easier)
I did have to make certain that we found room to hang pictures of the savior, and the temple, becasue those are both things that I think are cruical, 
and I love how it all turned out.
