Halloween Fun

We had a great Halloween this year. We talked a lot about what is real and what is pretend to calm the fears and keep away nightmares. Both kids really loved it this year and are already talking about what they will dress up as next year. Gracie begged us for weeks to get out the decorations and loved putting them up! Marley loved the Star Wars pumpkins that Douglas carved and was so excited for the costume Douglas made for him. We went to the ward trunk-or-treat, a costume party with friends and Gracie's fall festival at school. What a fun month!

Douglas did the awesome storm trooper and Yoda

(which made Marley really happy)

and I did the pirate skeleton.

Marley made the perfect Yoda
Kudos to Douglas for making such an awesome costume!

Little Red Riding Hood

Grandma Sessions made her cute hood and cape and Gracie loves it!

Red riding hood, hippie, special forces soldier, and Yoda

No rhyme or reason but still a lot of fun!

Marley really loved the trick-or-treating this year!

Gracie dancing her little tail off.

She especially loves Monster mash and Thriller

My second attempt at fondant

I made 2 identical frankenstein cakes for a friends party and Gracie's fall festival cake walk.

It was fun and my skills are improving.
