Halloweenie 2010

Another Halloween has come and gone!  I love the excitement of Halloween, so around here we usually do a fun party with costumes.  Someone asked me when I started doing Halloween parties,  I can remember doing one before Bryan was born, when Ben was 6 years old.... that is about 24 years ago!  I haven't done a party every year, but the last few years we have had some good parties at the Excell Haunted Mansion!  This year was no exception!!!
Austen decided he wanted to be a red dragon for Halloween!  Tana  bought this cute costume for Dirk to be a little Dragon.  Austen thought it should be his costume, so he put on a size 18 months on his size 3 frame and paraded around the neighborhood!  (and I do mean the neighborhood, he walked up and down the street!)
Austen, you are one funny little dragon... for the real Halloween, he forgot about this costume and settled on a green dragon and a Knight in shinning armor!
On October 30th we celebrated Halloween by first  watching the Sheep Parade in downtown Cedar City!  Dirk took a nice nap and kept Grandma warm.
Austen as a green dragon checking things out before the Parade started
What is a Parade without a horse and buggy!  It was a nice cool Fall morning and a fun parade
Tana and Austen watching the parade and checking out the pictures Tana took

Dirk woke up for the end of the parade and wondered what was going on!!  He  is a cute little Dragon!

After the Parade, we went home and cut pumpkins into Jack-o-Lanterns!  David used a power saw, it worked out awesome.
Getting the pumpkins just right!
Grandma and Austen at the Trunk or Treat... now Austen is a Knight in Shinning Armour. 
Dirk at the Trunk or Treat...He was excited to get CANDY.
Brooks and Miranda at our Halloween Party.. Red and The Wolf!  Great Costumes.
Queen Mary.... what can I say?   If the shoe fits wear it! 
Jeff and Sarah as Astronauts and Eli as an Alien baby!  Their costumes were so Awesome...Good Job! 
Austen helping call the Bingo Game!
Doing the Cake Walk... Eli won the first cupcake!  Daddy is helping him walk on the numbers!  
Grandpa dressed as Farmer.. it is his secret wish to be a Farmer so on Halloween his dreams come true!
This year I added an Apothecary Cabinet to my decorations.  It was so fun to gather the bottles and make this!  It turned out cool or should I say..... SPOOKY!

Thanks everyone for a fun Halloween Party... See you next year
