Halloween Chronicles

On Tuesday, Colleen and I went to the ward Halloween Party. They had Primary teachers decorate doors of classrooms at the church and then the kids did trick or treating inside. This is what my door looked like.
They had a chili dinner and a dessert contest so there was lots of yummy food! I was surprised how many people dressed up. The adults went all out. Some of my favorites were:
Mary Poppins and Chimney Sweeper (husband and wife)
Bees ( husband wife and cute little baby were all bumble bees)
Bacon and Eggs ( husband was bacon and then the pregnant wife was an egg with her pregnant belly being the yolk)
Iron Man ( this guy had the LED light under his shirt on his chest and a mechanical arm and hand that had all sorts of cool lights.)
Bat Man ( this little kid had these bat wings that actually popped out and opened up super big and then folded down inside the pack on his back. It was seriously cool!)
My kids from Sunbeams were:
a cougar, a transformer, a unicorn, 2 princesses, and arielle from little mermaid. Sooo cute!!
I dressed up as Raggedy Ann and Colleen was "her other personality."

At work, we had a Halloween Carnival for all the kids and then those that earned the privilege had a dance that night!
Here is a picture of my department. From left to right:
Becky (pizza) Kimberly (Hawaiin girl) Rich (James Bond) Ashley (Transformer) , Emily (Scarecrow), Coventry (Baseball Player), Me (Raggedy Ann), and Craig (can't remember what he was exactly...)

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!
