Happy Halloween

This year we celebrated Halloween all weekend. Friday we had a party with my family then that night we had our annual friends party. Saturday we carved pumpkins, went to the ward INDOOR "Halloween Festival" then did some trick-or-treating at Reno's cousins and grandparents houses. Sunday was pretty low-key, but Marli did want to wear her fairy dress all that day too. Our costumes this year were pretty fun - Laney was a darling peacock (that we borrowed from Troy and Jodi) Marli was a purple fairy, and Reno and I pretty much went as ourselves - AKA Jesse James and Kat Von D.

Crazy Cousins.

We were hoping our costume would win us the crow trophy this year, but we had some stiff competition. How can you compete with two giant chickens? I think my favorite was still Kylee's purple overalls though

Congrats to Mugs and Ty, the winners this year! I'm not sure if it was the red tights or the self-inflating fan that helped win all the votes

The 3 scary monsters.

Thanks Jess and Devin for hosting such a great party!

Carving pumpkins - You can see how not excited Marli was to get her hands in the goo.

Any time someone asked Marli what she was going to be for Halloween she would say a princess. Then I would say "No Marli, I thought you were going to be a fairy" and her reply was always "No, I already am a fairy - see!" Then she would lift her arms above her head a spin around. So I guess this wasn't really dressing up for her because in her mind, she already is a fairy
