Halloween

Halloween weekend was very busy. Scott, Allison, Abe and Henry came into town. We started out having Breakfast on Friday morning. Then we went and got pictures of the Grandkids taken. They turned out so cute!

The boys went golfing while we were getting pictures. After that we hung out for a while and then went and ate lunch at a Japanese Restaurant. They cook the food at the grill right in front of you. (I don't know what that is called.) It was tasty, but Annika didn't like the fire. After lunch we came home and got ready for the Trunk or Treat.

(Annika is already eating her candy. She had pixie stick down her chin.)

I was in charge of this primary activity and it went really well. Right before it started one of the men in our ward came riding in on a black horse, and was dressed up as the headless horseman. He was throwing out candy. Annika really wanted some of his candy, but didn't know what she thought of him.

(Our family all dressed up at the Halloween party.)

On Saturday Heidi threw a Halloween party for the family. It was so much fun! She had a scavenger hunt for the kids. They ended up finding the secret ingredient which made the witches brew bubble and smoke. They loved watching it.

We played a great pin the spider on the spider web. We ate donuts off a string, and listened to a scary story.

It was a great party! After Heidi's house we drove out to surprise Grandma and Grandpa Nye. Then we headed back to South Jordan. We took the kids out trick or treating. We were the only ones out. All of the houses were giving the kids handfuls of candy. They were having so much fun. Abe would run up to the house and put his finger on the door bell. and was told to wait for Henry and Annika. He would look back at them running up the sidewalk and say "is everyone here". He made me laugh!

On Sunday we woke up and were getting ready for church. I walked down stairs to get Annika some cereal and the clocks were an hour ahead of the ones upstairs. I guess that the alarm clock thought that it was daylight saving time. Needless to say we missed Sacrament Meeting. After Church we headed back up to South Jordan and ate dinner with the family. It was a long weekend but fun to hang out with the family.

Pumpkin Walk

On October 22nd we went up to Logan to Celebrate Austin's Birthday. We started off by going to the pumpkin walk. It was a lot of fun. Annika really enjoyed looking into every pumpkin that was lit up to see what was inside. The theme was animation, it was fun, Annika recognized a lot of the scenes. She really liked the little mermaid one. and the princess and the frog one. The pumpkin walk is such a fun tradition!


Princess and the frog.

(Annika would have opened every pumpkin if we would have let her!)

(Ady all bundled up, enjoying the pumpkins!)

After the pumpkin walk we went to wingers for dinner. Annika was so hungry and tired, she was just laying on the bench and crying. Adalyn had just had a long day and was hungry. Anyways. we ordered our food, and by the time they brought it out, I was headed out to the car. As soon as we got out to the car, Annika said she needed to go pee. So I put Adalyn down screaming, and pulled Annika out of the car, and pulled down her pants and let her pee in the trees in the parking lot. Brian went back into the restaurant and got our food boxed up and we took it back to my parents house. We put the girls down to sleep, and then enjoyed our dinner. Brian commented that we can't go anywhere anymore. Maybe one day we will be able to enjoy dinner. :)
The next day we tried to get pictures of the girls in their matching outfits with the pumpkins. Annika didn't want to cooperate. Oh well. they are still cute girls!
