Happy Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween this year.  We carved pumpkins…

You know it is serious business when you have to use the dremel on your pumpkin.

My sister Emily, gave us this baby pumpkin (which baby pumpkins are my absolute favorite) and we thought it was the perfect size for Andrew.  Especially since he is too little to carve his own.

We also went to our wards Trunk or Treat Friday night.  We decorated our trunk Indiana Jones theme.  Aaron was very excited for Halloween this year.  We dressed up from Raiders of the Lost Ark.  Aaron was Indi, I was Miriam and Andrew was the monkey that was with them.  We could finally complete the scene.  We had a good time.

Aaron and I have started a family tradition since we have been married.  We buy the pumpkin shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's and watch a Halloween type movie.  Aaron doesn't like scary movies and this year we watched the movie Igor.  It came out last year and is an animated movie.  It was pretty cute.  Aaron handed out candy and I dressed up Andrew in his monkey costume and visited some of the neighbors.  Tyler and Kate came over later and we watched Wolverine and ate candy.  It was fun to hand out candy and see all the kids dressed up.  We never had trick or treaters when we lived in the condo.  It is fun to live in such a family friendly neighborhood.

Oh Shoot! We had our ward party last night, so we only went to a few houses (Granmdma & grandpa and a couple of their neighbors) We should have stopped by your house on the way home! You guys looked great and I love the tradition. We're not into scary movies either but Zach shure loves pizza!

Andrew makes a very adorable monkey -- I can't believe we forgot about trunk or treating! Looks like it was fun :)
