Adam and Heather Hayes

For Family Night we frosted and decorated Halloween cookies and took them around to people in the ward.  This was Vi's first time doing it herself, and she did quite well!

We almost forgot to carve our pumpkins this year.  They made such lovely decorations as just...pumpkins.

Erith and Tricity drew their own designs on the pumpkins the day before Halloween, and we carved them as they were, no modifications. 

Erith's ^   and   Tricity's v

But, since Vi didn't really get the whole draw a carvable face on the pumpkin idea, Adam carved his own design.  Have you all read or seen The Sorcerer's Apprentice?  A childhood favorite of mine!

Tricity decided to be Belle for Halloween, like Erith was a couple years ago.  Erith was a witch with green hair.  (We have an orange hair option as well.)  Vi was going to be a bunny but Halloween night she got all grouchy with me and insisted on being a frog.  So she was.  Clara wore her Halloween candy clothes and a witch headband for the picture.

We went to the community Trunk or Treat and to a few close neighbors and primary teachers.  Then we went home and got what Erith and Tricity used to call "stummyaches."
