For Sandy & Christine





Sandy, per your request on the family website, here are our pumpkins from the Great Pumpkin Carve Off!!!! The top one is Nellie's Frankenstein, the Winner. The middle is Jeff's house window looking out over a graveyard. The bottom is my 'gobblin' that ended up looking more like an owl. Either way, it was a good time!!

Halloween Festivities



























































Halloween was pretty much awesome and crazy busy for 3 days. We started off on Thursday with a trip to the pumpkin patch (which was FREEZING!!!) then back to my mom's house for the great pumpkin carve off. Nellie won the carve off with an awesome frankenstein. Then on Friday we dressed up and went to Boo at the Zoo which was so cute. The zoo was all decorated in lights and pumpkins and the mokey cages had cardboard pumpkins and blow up decorations in them, and there were trick-or-treat booths set up all over the place. Right after that we went down to the river where Nellie was part of a free city trick-or-treat carnival type thing. So we played the cakewalk and got more candy! On Saturday we went to Roz's for a hay ride which Alex loved, then to my moms again for a eating/getting ready party before trick or treating. All in all the weekend was a lot of fun and Alex is STILL recovering from all the activity!
