Halloween!

Around here we LOVE Halloween!  We celebrated all week long and it was awesome.  For FHE we had a bunch of our friends over to make haunted gingerbread houses.  I wish we would have gotten a group shot but here is Saylor working on our house.
I started teaching Zumba and it is SO much fun! (Getting paid to work out is also pretty sweet!) For Halloween I learned Thriller and taught it to my class.  Ty got a few pics of me while I was practicing.

We threw our big Halloween party with our friends the Warner's this year.  They have the perfect spooky Halloween house!  Everybody came dressed up and all of the costumes were totally awesome!

The Hill's dressed Max up as Hercules and they were Zeus and Hera.  So cute!

Eden the kitty and Saylor as Jasmine
Oaks was a peacock and I was shocked that she actually kept that headband on all night!
I went as Pocahontas and got to wear this huge headdress all night! (Thanks to my Aunt Kristina for letting me raid her Halloween box for all our costumes this year!)
Reed as Clark Kent and little Super Eliana!
We had dinner in a pumpkin and I found all sorts of fun Halloween treats on pinterest to make for the party
 We had witch hats...
 spider oreos, nutter butter ghosts...
and witch fingers!
 The Whole Family (including Ty as Vanilla Ice)
 Oakley enjoying the snacks
Eating the yummy witch fingers which were pretzel rods dipped in caramel and white chocolate...so yummy!
 Doing the pinata out back
 The Cake Walk!
 After doing some kids games we put on a movie for the kids and the adults got to have some fun!  Here is Ty shaking his booty to get some ping pong balls out of the tissue box tied to his waist.
 Here is a better view of Ty's steps that I cut myself!  Lookin good Ty!
This is where the party always gets a little wild...donuts on a string couple style!
 Donuts on a string has always been one of my favorite Halloween traditions!

Ty wrapping me up like a mummy!
We won! ( And I was super dizzy!)
Group shot of everyone.  We are so blessed to have such amazing friends!

 We had a costume contest and the Hill's and the Miner's tied for best group costume!
The Miner's dressed up as Miners
Chase won best individual costume...I think that makeup really put him over the top!
 It was such a fun night!

Max was the cutest little Hercules ever!
 The Losers to all the games had to go down in the basement and weren't allowed to come back until they found all the glow in the dark mice that were hidden...
 It was completely pitch black down there and Kevin hid so he could scare everyone!
 Chantel and Ernie came a little late but they looked awesome as the Flinstones!

 The celebrating continued on actual Halloween with the SAA Trunk or Treat!  Oaks was loving life, just wandering around getting candy from everyone.

 Kellen, Saylor and Laynie
(Saylor had been telling me for weeks how Kellen was going to save her on Halloween because he was Spiderman, she ADORES him)
Saylor and Jade
 Saylor fell down and got hurt and I just couldn't resist taking a picture because she looked so  cute with her big tears.
 After the SAA trunk or treat we went to the church for our Ward trunk or treat.  Oakley was so proud of herself because she hung out with Mommy and handed out candy to all the kids all by herself.
 These were some of my favs from the Ward party...
Despicable Me!
 The Obamas! haha
 And the night wasn't over!  We went out in our neighborhood and did some real trick or treating.  Saylor actually had just as much fun at home answering the door and giving candy to other trick or treaters.  She would get so excited every time the door bell rang!
 I don't even know how many suckers Oaks ate that night...
 At home checking out all their candy!
