Halloween

So we did some fun things this Halloween

First we carved our pumpkins (which we haven't done for a couple of years)
I carved a "j" for Jones, of course. I had a lack of creativity this year- so I tried to spruce it up some with paint too. Chris did the apple (Mac) sign... but no he is not a totally techie or Mac snob... that is just what he wanted to do- and I think it turned out well. I also baked pumpkin seeds for the first time this year. They turned out pretty good.

We got invited to a Halloween party by our friends, the Woolfords. Chris and I thought all week long what we could be (wothout spending too much)- so we came up with these costumes. Of courase we had to represent the LAKERS! I know I am quite frightning and many people have told me it was a very convincing costume ( I don't know if that is a good thing). I was very impressed with the NBA trophy that Chris made. You will have to google pictures of both Phil Jackson and Sasha Vujacic to see if we did a good job. We had a great time at the party and came home the champions of the Donut game!

Saturday I went to the Ward Halloween Party while Chris was at the USC v. Oregon Game with his brother Wes. I had to go to the party because my Young Women were in charge of a booth- which we did face painting. It was fun thought to see all the little kids in their costumes!

Then on Halloween we got together with Chris' parents and the Nielsens (Chris' sister's family) for dinner and a little bit of trick or treating. It was really fun to see my nieces and nephews in the costumes. Katie made them all! I can't wait til we have kids of our own to dress up and take trick or treating.
