Carving Pumpkins/Halloween

On Monday night we had our good friends John and Suzi Speth over to carve pumpkins!! After having FHE we showed the kids how to clean out pumpkins and the 3 girls were not so impressed!!

I took over Maili's pumpkin and carved a cat... sort of :) Kenney helped Cameron carve some sort of unhappy/transformer looking face. Allie wanted Dora... Suzi took over that project!! John took over Kylies pumpkin and started to analyze the situation a little too closely. His pumpkin was perfect. Apparently no one told him its ok to make a mistake or two!! He then helped Kelton carve a skeleton coming out of flames... ya he showed us all up! I didn't snap a picture. Dora didn't quite make it home but Suzi and I both took another shot and she carved a really cute spider and web. I carved the really easy face that I wanted to do originally for Maili :) They turned out really good. The next day I needed to fill that void of not letting someone show me up so I carved another pumpkin. It says Goblin Goodies Dusk to Dawn. John was impressed!!

On Halloween our family and our other friend Jason and his son Sinjin went over to Suzi and John's ward for their Trunk or Treat. Her sister-in-law Tara came as well with her two kids Isaac (not pictured) and Audrey. Suzi then fed us all some fantastic cheese soup!

Afterwards we went back to our house and scared trick or treaters, Kenney put on Maili's Strawberry Shortcake hat and would scream boo at the trick or treaters as they knocked on the door. It was scary even before he said boo!

Thats Kenney as Strawberry

Maili's favorite Trick or Treater stayed long enough for a picture. He had some candy to go get! Love you Brenden.

We let the boys go out and do a little more trick or treating while the adults settled down the girls so we could play a board game! THATS RIGHT I SAID WE... KENNEY HAS FOUND A BOARD GAME HE LOVES! Thank you John and Suzi for introducing Kenney and I to Settlers of Catan!! The five of us played until almost 2 am. It was a wonderful evening with good friends.
