...halloween...

We had a really fun Halloween! Dave and I took Allison to see her grandparents and they loved her costume. After that we went to Kim and Jerrod's house for a Halloween party. I had a really fun time coming up with our costumes, Dave and I were robbers and Alli was the bag of money that we stole. Thanks to my really cute and talented mother-in-law, Dianna, for helping me prepare and sew Allison's costume. You are so awesome!
Allison was the cutest money bag ever! We would take an Allison bag of money over a real bag of money any day!

While Dianna and I were busying ourselves with getting the costume ready Allison was just busying herself with playing. She is always on the go and having lots of fun. She sure makes life fun and we love her for that.
We got out to the party and everyone was in costume. Jerrod and Kim were old fashioned golfers, Jenn was Blankie from the Brave Little Toaster and Steven was the Swedish chef from the Muppets, we were the robbers and money, Mike was dressed as a woman and Jennifer was his/her lesbian lover, and Danielle was a ballerina but she had changed into regular clothes by the time we took this picture. Everyone was really creative and their costumes were fun!

There was lots of yummy food. We ate delicious chili in bread bowls, chips and dips, cookies, cupcakes, donut hole eye balls, and graveyard desserts. I made the graveyard desserts and I was really proud of them. I thought they looked cute.We were all supposed to bring a pumpkin to carve but when Dave, Danielle, and I went to get some on Halloween day the store did not have anymore. Luckily Kim and Jerrod had bought an extra one so we shared it with Jenn and Mike and got in on the pumpkin carving competition. All the pumpkins looked great! We had a really fun night and it was a great kickoff to the holiday season. I love this time of year!
