Halloween Happenings 2010

For the last six years we have dressed up together as a family. This year we decided to be a little more scary. We were vampires, at the request of the girls. We had another fun Halloween season. The weekend before Halloween we had our ward Trunk or Treat and Carnival. We had a blast. Scott and Sundy were asked to be the DJ's. We had a great time dancing to the tunes and just acting crazy. Kiara helped run the Carnival with the other young women in the ward and even made cupcakes for it. At the end of the festivities she participated in a little fun herself by sticking her face in whip cream and trying to find a piece of gum and be the first to blow a bubble. We had Karaoke at the end and while we were cleaning up. Scott and Sundy sang a duet of "You're the One That I Want," the girls sang quite a few songs together and Scott even sang "Elvira."

On the Saturday before Halloween, we spent the evening with the Call's. The girls went Trick or Treating while the men stayed home and passed out candy. After they were done, they came home and we watched the kids empty out their candy on the floor and start a candy stock exchange. They were bartering and swindling. It was fun to watch. We enjoyed the rest of the evening visiting and listening to Jerry Seinfield's Halloween. It was hilarious.

Sunday was Halloween. We had the primary program where Kiara played the violin for a few of the songs. She did a great job. Later in the day we went over to the Bettenhausen's and ate our traditional chili and visited. The kids had fun. One bonus to the weekend was that Dad DeGooyer was able to be here for it.
