Halloween Festivities

So I actually woke up at about 5:00 AM the day before Halloween and could not get back to sleep. I was so excited for the day! I was so excited to see Carson in his first ever Halloween parade, our ultrasound, and to carve pumpkins.
Carson's preschool is at a regular elementary school so he gets to participate in a lot of activities that they do in elementary. So he got to do the Costume parade with the morning kindergartners. It was so much fun to watch him go around. Brynnley and I kind of followed him around the school. He told me afterwards that he really liked it when the kids in some of the rooms clapped. He also wanted to tell me all about the costumes he had seen.




After our ultrasound we went to the Ford's house to carve pumpkins and have some dinner. I had actually printed out some easy templates off the Internet before hand. Definitely the way to go, you don't have to think about what you are doing. Carson decided on a spider, we did a silly face for Brynnley and Kyle came up with doing a "BOY" pumpkin for the baby.
Carson was not so much a fan of the guts in the pumpkin. But he did love to say over and over "Let's get the guts out!"

His only attempt at evening feeling the guts of the pumpkin.

It was a lot of fun and such a cute Halloween party! We took kids home for a quick nap then went up to my sisters house. She makes homemade doughnuts every year on Halloween and they are super yummy! So we got some pictures of the kids, ate doughnuts and just visited. It was a lot of fun!


The two little girls, my sister made her little girls angel costume. No smiles, but still really cute!
Where's Waldo? My brother was where's waldo. I thought it was a fabulous costume!My sister made costumes for her and her husband. He was Buddy the elf and she was Jolie the elf. I think they turned out super cute!

So much fun to see everyone's costumes! It sounds like it was a long, but very fun day! I'm so glad you're all getting together for family activities! What clever daughters I have! They make such cute costumes! Thank you to Grandma Jordan for making Jarom's costume! It turned out great!
