Halloween

Halloween was a lot of fun this year we had a last minute party with some of our friends and then Kara and Jake invited some of their friends. It was fun to have a night without the kids. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from that party Kara was the photographer that night.

The sunday before Halloween we had a big Halloween party with Rusty's side of the family. All the kids had a great time. There were all sort of fun activites for the kids that Rusty's cousin had put together for the kids. It was fun to see everyone in their costumes. Above is a picture of Grandma Hughes with all her grandkids and Kara all dressed up in their costumes.

Jordyn had a lot of fun playing with Great Nanna and Great Grandpa Forest. She is such a love bug and will play with anyone that will show any attention.

Here is aour family in our costumes. For those who can't tell what we are, we have Indiana Jones, Bo Peep, a sheep, the Headless Horseman and I was a Ridell High cheerleader. This year a was feeling domestic and thought I would save a few bucks and make the girls costumes. I was very excited with how they turned out and I think I might give it a try again next year depending on what they choose to be for Halloween.

This is the cake that I made for the Halloween party. I was very happy with how it turned out so I wanted to show it off.
The kids had a really good time trick-or-treating. Some lasted longer than others. The girls had a great time going around in my mom's neighborhood. Alexis kept saying "I want another" so we would go on to the next house. But she didn't last too long once we met up with Carter and Daddy at home. We went around our neighborhood with the neighbor and that was a lot of fun.

You did such a super fantastic job on your kids costumes. I loved the Bo peep costume. One day I may decide that I like sewing again and make my kids. That cake turned out awesome. One day I need you to teach me the ways of cake decorating. LOL

Their costumes really did turn out soooo cute! I am jealous of all of your talents. I'm glad your Halloween was fun. By the way, how did Rusty see out of his costume? Did he leave it on all night?
