Halloween 2008

How fun it was to have Grandma and Grandpa Stoddard join us for a pumpkin carving Family Home Evening the Monday before Halloween. Grandma was put in charge of taking pictures and Grandpa handled the frosting of the cookies. Everyone had a great time, and we all got to bed far too late!





This is how I spent most of the evening--preparing a carving pattern of Brigham Young. It turned out pretty well, though I had a little problem with the left eye where a fragile bridge piece broke and I had to try to prop things up with a toothpick. It was a little disappointing.







Here are the inventive costumes the kids decided to wear this year. Andre is CTR Boy and Dallin is the tacky gym kid.





Lisette repeated a fun costume from a couple of years ago. She's the biggest, cutest puppy in the litter!
