Phantom of the Opera

While we were in Las Vegas for thanksgiving, Shane and Katie got us some GREAT tickets to see Phantom of the Opera. We were about on the 10th row...really close! My dad is NOT interested in theater, so he was the babysitter while me, Jon, Shane, Katie, and my mom went to see Phantom.
It was AWESOME!
LOVED the music, LOVED the acting, LOVED the theatre!

Halloween Activities

We started our Halloween festivities a week before Halloween by making cookies




Then, for FHE we invited our "grandparent" friends in our ward to carve pumpkins




Roland's pumpkin


Caleb's


Leah's


Alex's


Braydon came to the kids' school with me to watch the Halloween Parade

And we delivered treats to Alex, Caleb, and Leah's classrooms

Caleb's teacher didn't have any parent helpers for the party,
so we stayed to help out.

We took the kids trick-or-treating at Springville's Safe Halloween
Halloween day Katie and I planned a fun Halloween party.
The kids made egg-carton spiders

Alex, Braydon, Caleb, Leah and Hannah (Katie's niece)

Playing "Boo, Boo, GHOST!"

They also played Halloween Darts

Bobbing for apples was so funny!


Braydon dunked his entire head into the pot to get the apple!


Caleb got pretty drenched bobbing for apples too


Leah's entire front of her costume got soaked
because she was practically laying in the water!


Waiting to eat!


Deviled egg eyes

Carrot "fingers"

Deviled-egg "eyes"

peanut butter "fingers" with strawberry jam "blood"

My personal favorite was the apple "smiles"
We also floated red hands in the punch

"Mummy" dogs

Ready to go trick-or-treat

Papa handed out the candy at their house wearing his costume.
