Fall Traditions

Dallin looking for new residence as maybe Peter (the pumpkin eater...)

Sorted and organized. Quite the haul for Ms. Lissa---considering we did NOT trick or treat. She generously shared---and of course still has quite the stash to be rationed over the next 3 or more months.
Let the sorting begin...

Local trunk or treaters. Check out Cruella De Vil. I thought she deserved a little spot in this entry!

Concerts---clarinet playing and tuxedo wearing Big D!

Lissa was a glow in the dark stick figure twice and a rock star once...but the MAIN event when it came to pumpkin carving this year!!

Check out her final result!

Tali was a snow princess one night, super girl another and a royal blue princess (or as she calls it---a blueberry princess) Fun to have so many options! Every Sunday after choir in our home, Tali regally descends the stairs in whatever costume suits her fancy. Truly it has become a weekly tradition!

Gymnastics Recital!

I remember being able to pop in and out of this position...I don't remember quite how long ago!

Favorite picture!!! I call it: "Looking from a new perspective!" I wonder if I might see things differently from that angle!

We love Fall Traditions. I am baffled that I do NOT have pictures of all my dressed up kids. Kyden was a ninja, Dallin was a pirate and Mc was sleeping beauty (in PJ'S---with a crown!) Further robbery for this particular entry is the lack of evidence of our scrumptious Caramel Apples---(truly our best consolation for lack of trick or treating this year)! Everyone had a blast passing out the treats and chewing on sugar smothered apples! The most noteworthy and rather crazy event was eating a Thanksgiving dinner this year ON Halloween! We had a turkey in the freezer---and had been meaning to use it...Luckily this means we have fulfilled our over the top food prep for this Fall season! PHEW! Feeling good!
