A PreHalloween Weekend

This last weekend was Halloween-tastic! Friday night us girls (and cute George!) attended Witches night out at Gardner Village and had a great time. We ate at Archibalds then walked around the cutesy stores. I have never seen so much costume creativity at one time! It was so fun to look around and see all the different witch outfits. The highlight must have been the man dressed up in the dress, wig and witch hat...I guess he didn't want to miss out on all the fun. At the end of the evening we made a stop at the fudge shop to pick out the tastiest desserts.



Then on Saturday night we had our ward trunk or treat where we ate yummy soup and scored on some candy with Grace. Grace was dressed as a strawberry (thanks to Jen!) so Dave and I thought it would be fitting for us to dress up as farmers. Grace was so cute, she just loved all the people in their costumes. She kept laughing at everyone and ended the night totally exhausted, but a trooper throughout the evening.



Finally we ended the weekend with a ghoulish dinner at the Swanson's house. We ate monster toes, mummies, bone chillin' breadsticks, rat cheese, hemorrhoid dip, witches brooms and much more tasty treats. We also did bobbing for apples and some pumpkin carving, well actually I didn't, I just watched, but it was still fun! It was so fun to get together and do a little Halloween celebrating because I just love this holiday!!

Dude, you totally scored! 3 nights in a row you got to dress up. Way fun! Loved the pics. Grace looks super cute as a strawberry. And you and Dave totally look like old school farmers. Awesome!

** side note: Why does the stroller seem to be glowing in each pic??**

seriously - way to have fun inlaws! I love all those festive menu ideas. And honestly - Ive never seen a cuter strawberry. You and Dave must be excellent farmers to produce that. She smiles so well!
