Halloween

Trying to get this blog caught up before Christmas this Sunday so I figured it was time to share Halloween. 

Eliza and Lenora had their first gymnastics exhibition of the year. Lenora is on pre-team this year and this was her first time performing routines. She did a great job! Judging from her huge smile, she had a blast. 

This year Eliza's floor routine is to a mash-up of Michael Jackson's Thriller and Beat It. It was fun to see her debut it along with some upgraded skills! 

Of course pumpkin carving was on the schedule. We grew all our pumpkins in the garden this year for the first time in a very long time. Yay! 

Such concentration! 

Orson - Lego head, Conrad - cat (which he designed himself), Mommy- pumpkins, Hazel - leaves, Eliza - a chicken, Lenora - squirrel. Daddy was at the church while we carved so he didn't do one. 

I declared this another find-a-costume-from-the-dress-up-closet year, but they all found something great!

The day after Halloween we were able to go see a school performance of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The kids weren't familiar with the story, but they loved it! 

Not pictured, our ward Halloween party where Michael won "Most Creative" for the trunk decorating contest because he closed the trunk entirely and just stood by the van. Clearly the competition was fierce haha!
