Halloween 09'

Halloween started a week and a half ago for us with the ward party and trunk or treat. Luckily my wonderful and talented mother made Lexi the cutest Flapper costume. She looked adorable and we took a million pictures too. This was Lexi’s first trick or treating experience and she was totally into it. Since it is freezing cold in Utah and already snowed this week, our ward just sits in a big circle and the kids walk around and collect their candy. At first Lexi wasn’t sure what was going on, but soon she discovered there was candy in her bucket and she soon learned how to grab it for herself and drop it in. Most of the time she is very timid and shy around people she doesn’t know, but that didn’t matter I guess when candy is involved!

Doesn't she look so grown up!?

Check out those lashes!!!

Jaron’s work also had a trick or treating at his office on Friday. They provided pizza for everyone and the kids were able to go around to all the offices and get candy. Jaron was able to borrow a costume from one of our friends and it was a big hit!

Every holiday I always bake something festive and most of the time I try to make a decoration or something. This year I made pumpkin sugar cookies, which I attempted my decorating skills on, and to make a cute little ghost girl! Both turned out relatively well I thought!

The weather was very nice actually tonight on Halloween, but it was still a little cool. We added a little shirt to Lexi's costume to keep her warmer and she still looked adorable!

Woo hoo! Check out that leg!
