First Halloween

Did you have a good Halloween? Ours wasn't too scary, but we sure did have some HAIR-RAISIN' fun with family!

Halloween sort of snuck (sneaked?) up on me this year! On Halloween DAY I figured I had better get a costume ready for Grant...so I crocheted a little turtle outfit I had seen online. I think it turned out pretty cute, considering I didn't have a pattern!

I don't have a picture of the three of us in our costumes. Grant was a turtle, Jeff was a pig (he wore the pig costume my mom made for me when I was in 6th grade), and I was a farm girl who tended the animals. :)

Liz also bought Grant this skeleton onesie! Thanks so much, Liz! We found out later that the bones glow in the dark. So cute!

We went to my parents' house for the traditional yummy chili, cornbread, and homemade root beer. Jeff carved an AWESOME pumpkin (pictures to come), we passed out candy, and Derrick and I played ukuleles. Then we headed down to Jeff's family and ate candy and played games until it was reeeeeeally late. Like 1:00 AM late. Everyone felt like this:


Thankfully, Jeff and I got back home safe and sound. Sadly though, Jeff missed his morning classes because he was too tired and slept in! We've now made it a goal to get to bed by 10:00 on school nights. We still have yet to achieve that goal...we just have been having too much fun with our families!

P.S. Kayla and Jess, it sounds like your adorable little girls have also fallen in love with our son's charms and good looks! I don't mind if he ends up marrying either Kylie or Andrea, even though he is a bit younger than them. If those girls end up anything like their beautiful mamas, I'll be tickled pink to have them as a daughter-in-law! :)

I love the pumpkin heart on the skeleton! And that first pic of Baby Grand is probably the scariest Halloween picture I've ever seen!

Jewel, you are amazing. That Turtle costume is awesome. I would not be able to do that. :)

Oh Jewel you are so cute. I can't believe you made that little costume in one day. I think it would talk be about 3 months. It's so cute. And I have to say Kylie does have good taste in men and she think your little Grant is a cutie.
