Halloween Party #1...

The costumes this year!! We went with a Peter Pan Theme!

Ella as one Chunky Tinkerbell (seriously the girl is miserable putting this costume on and taking it off, i bought it last year before she was even born, we didn't know she would be so chunky :)

Brigham as Captain Hook!

And Parley as the Pan Man, Peter Pan!
Parley won the Cutest Boy Costume award, he loved his prize! He is a pretty cute Peter pan!

One of the smiles we were able to get out of her, she isn't a huge fan of her costume!
Some of the yummy treats, Ghosts, eyeballs, fingers and candy corn rice krispie treats!



Parley showing off his costume in the parade.

My family has a tradition every year to have a big halloween party with great food, costumes and a parade and a traditional treasure hunt that the kids love! Ever since i remember, my dad would do this treasure hunt for all of my nieces and nephews and for me when i was younger. He would do this treasure hunt in the forest that was behind our house, it was actually pretty scary sometimes walking through this dark forest,but he would have a glowing jack o lantern or a light stick at each clue and then at the end there would be a great treasure, each little kid always ended up with a glow stick, it was always quite a site to see 30 glow stick walking through this dark forest. After everyone would get there treasure he would bear his testimony on having the Light of Christ in our lives, and that it can get us through the dark. This is my favorite halloween tradition that my family has, i always loved hearing Dad's testimony and seeing the kids listen to him so intently in this dark forest with their glowing sticks. Doug and Katie did a great treasure hunt this year with glow sticks and all, the kids loved it. Thanks doug and katie for the fun nightand for keeping the tradition alive even without the ring leaders! We miss you Dad and mom!

Ella was so happy when we finally took her costume off, i really hope it will fit her in a couple of weeks!

all the Grand kids that were there, everyone except 5 of the St. George kids!

Another cute shot of the tink, check out those rolls on her arm!
My crazy brother ted, i am not quite sure what he was but at first we all thought he was some stranger!

I am sure that you will be seeing more of Tink, Pan and Hook as there is still 11 days til halloween!
