Halloween Family Photo

So Abe and I have been married now for five years and we have five years worth of Halloween Family Photos. So I decided that every five years I am going to post all our Halloween Family Photos. So here they are starting with 2013 and ending with 2007

The Front Porch

So normally at my grandma's house we just add a black cat and some crows to the already outside fall decor but this year grandma bought a Halloween wreath. It is pretty cool. It is one of those mesh ones in red with black over it and silver spiders so we had to have something to match on the side. This is what we come up with this year and plan to add a little bit to it next year.

We Are Here to Trick or Treat

So Kaylee had gone Trunk or Treating and she thought that that was fun, but she really loved trick or treating. She liked to knock on the doors, she liked being the center of attention, she like the candy, and it's what they do on TV. She had a really good time but no pictures. However, with TV in mind Little Einsteins has a Halloween episode in which they sing a song about trick or treating. Here is Kaylee's rendition.

The Pumpkins of 2013

I could talk about how pumpkin carving didn't go quite as planned this year, but why. It's been noted so that's that. Now this year it was just Abe and me who carved and Kaylee painted one. Now next year Kaylee's pumpkin will be carved either by her or us and then most likely painted. Because she was so bummed that we couldn't be a candle in her pumpkin. Conner just ran around having fun and he was naked so he wouldn't get paint on his clothes.

Here we are working hard.

Like I said Conner ran around naked

Nykol's Halloween Party

So I sadly have absolutely no pictures from the party and it upset me so much I had trouble sleeping that night, but I do have a video of Kaylee during the party. See she wasn't allowed downstairs with the big kids which made her quite sad. however it did not stop her she had her own party upstairs with herself and she had a ball. Oh and I would have to say Nykol's party went well.

Playing in the leaves which I would have to say was their favorite part.

The Halloween Heber Creeper

So for one of our Halloween activities we decided to ride the Heber Creeper (properly called the Heber Valley Railroad). So on select days in October the railroad does a Halloween themed train ride. It's really fun for kids. Adults not so much. The kids got a Halloween tattoo, as many trips into the haunted car as they wanted, a 40 minute train ride and a pumpkin. Kaylee loves trains so it was really fun for her. I go back and forth if we will do it again so we'll see.

Waiting for the train

So they had this "haunted" car for kids to go in. It was basically a dark room with smoke but Kaylee loved it.

On the train they played songs and gave everyone a little cookie. While the ride was a little short Kaylee and Conner enjoyed the ride.

Conner danced during some of the music

Abe tried to sing some of the songs and this is what Kaylee had to say about that.

Everyone who rode the train also got to get a pumpkin out of the "pumpkin patch"
