Kisses for Everyone

Our adorable little kiss

The weekend before Halloween we went to a neighborhood Halloween Party with Brent's co-worker Stacey. Halloween is always a big deal for Stacey's family and must always include creative homemade costumes (usually made out of felt). She got us in on it, so we went over to her house a couple hours before the party and threw together this little kiss costume for Abby. I have to give her the majority of the credit for the assembly though.

Brent and I wore costumes that she had made in the past, a whoopie cushion and Vanillaroma Car Scent, and Stacey dressed up as the Travelocity Gnome. The party was a progressive dinner that we moved from house to house for each course and Stacey made a prop to have at each house . . . mushrooms, a yellow suitcase, and a rake. It was hilarious! She motivated me to get into Halloween a little more in the future because it sure made things fun.

The felt family

Stacey and Brent had me try on the gnome costume after the party. I think my bubbly cheeks worked a little too well. We decided I'd made a great Santa Claus if I wasn't a girl.

The day before Halloween we went to our wards Trunk-or-treat. It was a lot of fun. Brent and I are the Nursery Teacher's in our ward so it was fun to see all the little kids dressed up in their costumes.

On Halloween, We had our friends Mike and Casey come over for dinner (I made the traditional Elmer Halloween Beef Stew and Breadsticks). We have been watching the Lost series' together every week since we moved in. We are on the second series right now, but needed to watch a few more episodes in order to finish before we move in a few weeks. So, we watched 3 episodes of Lost that night. They were pretty intense episodes, so I think they qualified as good Halloween material.
