Holiday festivities

On Sunday Heidi had the family over to her house for a halloween get together. It was a night full of fun activities. When we got there we all ate dinner.

Following dinner we carved pumpkins. Annika stuck her hand in a couple of times, but I don't think she liked it. So Brian and I did most of the work. All of our pumpkins turned out really good I thought.


After Pumpkin carving we decorated some sugar cookies. Annika loved this, then she figured out she could just lick the frosting off of the spoon. She liked that even more!


After decorating cookies, we had a eat the doughnut off the string contest. Heidi, Matt, and Elise went first. Matt pretty much won by a long ways.





The second set was Brian, Karen, Me and Gavin. Brian won. I just couldn't swallow mine fast enough, and at the end Karen inhaled doughnut and was choking. What a dangerous game. It was so much fun! After all that fun, I was worn out and needed to go home to sleep. It was such a fun night and thanks Heidi for having us all over.

P.S. I heard that eating a doughnut off the string was one of Abe's favorite games. I put in lots of pictures just for him!
