Trick or Treat

So I was really not in the Halloween spirit this year. I had no plans of dressing up, wasn't taking Andi trick-or-treating, nothing. But a few days ago Thad found out my Dad and the Young Men were putting on a spook alley at the ward party. That was the end of my plans. So I dug through the dance costume box with my mom and found an outfit that Andi could actually wear, which was very surprising as Kelsie and I both started dance at age 4. Andi is not even 2, and the fairy dust costume is a little baggy, but it stayed on her and she loved her "pretties".


I went as the blue fairy from Pinocchio. Originally I was going for Merryweather, you know the feisty blue fairy in Sleeping Beauty, but the hat I attempted to transform just didn't turn out as I had planned. Thad of course was planning on wearing that awful mask, but luckily you are not allowed to wear masks at the church party, so he settled for painting his face and carrying the mask around as a severed head, acting as the tour guide through the spook alley.


oh, and I would like to say thank you to everyone who recommended the twilight series. I started twilight last Thursday and finished Eclipse this afternoon. I can't believe I have to wait an entire year before the next book comes out!

You guys all looked great! I didn't do anything for Halloween. I think you have to pick it up again when you have kids. Your blue fairy costume was perfect!!

You guys all looked great and it was so fun to see all the kids dressed up (even the big ones:) Did she ever keep a balloon or did she let them all go "up"? haha fun times!

I love the costume! Kelsie must have been so tiny in the frame! Anyway, you pulled off the fairy look well...good job for last minute. I'm not that creative or talented!

Amanda said...

Super cute pictures! I love to see you guys! I'm glad that Thad couldn't wear that mask... I seem to remember how scary he was last year in it!

I'm glad that you like the Twilight series too! :) If you go to Stephanie Meyers website then you can read the first chapter of Midnight Sun.. that is Twilight told from Edwards point of view. Pretty great:) Here is a link...

Alexis said...

would you like me to punch Kelsie for you for the monster comment? Just kidding. She kind of scares me! Well I love this! Nice costumes. Aaron was afraid of Thad, but you and Andi....Mucho Gusto!
