Halloween fun!

We had a great Halloween at my parents house this year. All the Utah people came on Halloween night. We had a great Halloween dinner & fun games with the highlight being the mummy game. (where the husbands had to wrap the wives in TP to make them look like a mummy.) Jake, being so competitive had to win, so he had me spin while he held the TP in his hand. I got so dizzy from spinning and having my eyes & mouth covered, I seriously almost passed out and couldn't tell him because my mouth was covered. It was not fun. The kids had a blast going from room to room in my parents house & also going to the neighbors. We got so much candy & the surprising thing is..we still have some candy left. Jace & Mallory usually eat all of it before the next day is over.(they love candy)

We all dressed up! Jake and I not being real creative or daring, stuck with being a bronco fans! Jace was football player at school & teenage mutant ninja turtle that night. Mallory was Snow White. McKenna was a kitty.




Yes that is Jace's football helmet Jake is wearing, and yes he wore it most of the night.


Ashley and Damien as the "hunter and moose." Carter was a scary vampire, McKoy was a hilarious clown and Addison was the cutest cheerleader.



Jill and Michael were Hilary Clinton and our new president, Obama.



Amber & Spence had great costumes! They really used her pregnancy belly well.






Jake P. was Bronco Mendanhall & Marie was the water girl, along with Jaden & Chase as football players. Bruce and Nikki the "cute couple"
Nate & Meggan had great costumes, but somehow there were not any pics taken of them. Dad dressed up as a cowboy. He said that he hasn't changed his costume for the last 30 years and doesn't plan on it any time soon. We missed Hugh, Nicholas, Ashley & kids.

Those were all such great costumes. What is up with the Erickson boys & they're tiny heads? Looks like lots of fun. Ava will be sad Mal wasn't a mermaid though. We will have to get those girls together to play dressup @ Christmas!

You guys look so great! What is it with the Erickson guys and not wanting to be creative for Halloween? Jason was a cowboy!
