Charlie Brown and the Giant Pumpkin

Halloween was a busy holiday for us this year! I started out with a craft day with the other dental wives making these cute pumpkins.

So easy, and so quick!

On the friday before Halloween, we had our ward Halloween Party and Trunk-or-Treat. This year we dressed up as characters from Charlie Brown. People got who Eli was, and from there they figured David and I out. But at first it didn't look like we were dressed up. Oh well! I am so pleased with the way Eli's shirt turned out!

 And here is our little family at the party:

Doesn't he make the cutest Charlie Brown!

 And in previous wards, decorating your Trunk has been a big deal for the Trunk-or-Treat. So I wanted to make sure that we decorated ours this year. I knew it wouldn't be a lot, compared to what I had seen others do, but it was something. Well, in this ward, trunk decorating is NOT a big deal. People were surprised, and liked, our festive trunk. Here is what we did short notice:

On Saturday night a gal in the ward hosted her annual "Witches" party--basically a girls night out, Halloween style, with food and lots of visiting. But you had to come dressed as your favorite witch. I chose to go as a Good Witch, and my friend Jessie let me borrow her Standard Ballroom dress! It was fabulous!

 On Monday, we carved pumpkins, finally! Better late than never. And with the wet here in the PNW, later IS better.

 On Halloween night we hosted a party ourselves, with some friends. It was a fun get together. I went all out with food, though. Made too much, as usual, but I had fun doing it!

We chatted and played some games with friends, and just enjoyed the holiday together. Like I said it was an eventful holiday, but lots of fun!
