Halloween Fun!

We started the Halloween weekend with Karlee going to a birthday party of Olivia (a church friend). She had so much fun, and for journal sake this was her very 1st party that mom didn't stay. She did great, they got to decorate their very own pumpkin. As we drove home, Karlee said to me, "Mom - that was so fun, can I go back." We took a picture so that we could remember her pumpkin masterpiece.

Arrr Matey!!! - Pirate Princess Karlee

On Saturday we dressed up in our Halloween best and headed with Robs parents to their wards annual Trunk or Treat held at the Erda Drive-In. This is always so much fun. The night begins with hamburgers and hot dogs, a costume parade, trunk of treating, and ends with watching a movie on the big Drive-In screen. This year we got to watch Kung Fu Panda 2. The weather was really nice, but it was nice to snuggle up with blankets in our car while watching the movie.

This year as you can see Karlee wanted to be a pirate. Well not exactly... at first this is what she wanted to be so I got busy thinking of how I could make her costume, started collecting all the accessories. About a week before Halloween, Karlee said that she was not going to be a pirate, but that she wanted to be a Pink Elephant. ha-ha-ha. Yeah I have no idea where that came from. So i continued to finish the pirate costume. Karlee wanted her dad to be a pirate too, luckily I had extra fabric so I busy making our costumes. We were a pirate family this year for Halloween. It was really fun, and luckily everything turned out.

This year Rob had Halloween off (Yahoo for us!). This is one of Robs favorite holidays and now with Karlee he really looks forward to it. A local Senior Citizen center held a trick or treat during the day, so we took Karlee had she had a lot of fun. They had treats and games.

We ended the night with Trick of Treating with my sister Monica and her kids. Karlee got tired so we bailed early. We had a Great day spent together as a family.
