Halloween

The kids had plenty of opportunities to dress up and have some good old Halloween fun.















Annual Jefferson Drive Halloween Party


The kids and I had a great time at our street Halloween Party this year. Thanks Amy!!!!! We love ya! Amberly dressed up as a witch, Skyler as a go go dancer, Kenadee as a ladybug and Austin wore......... his pumpkin shirt. (He refused to put on his costume.)


We had a great lunch, cookie decorating, potato sack races, and bobbing for apples.




Cornbelly's


We went as a family to the Thanksgiving Point Cornbelly's Park. We had a great time. We were laughing so hard watching Austin manuever himself around the bouncing pads. He was having a blast!


We went on the hay ride, train ride, pedal bikes and found our way through the Larry H. Miller Corn Maze. We ALMOST made it all the way through the giant lizard this year (last year we made it about 5 seconds before we exited). This year we were almost at the end when a loud noise sounded and Austin and Kenadee freaked and thus another early exit.




















Halloween Parade




Kenadee, Austin and I went and watched the Hidden Hollow Elementary Parade. Kenadee dressed up as Cinderella to watch. Amberly was a butterfly fairy, and Skyler dressed up as a rock star! Austin wore........his pumpkin shirt!
















































Halloween Piano Recital

Every year Amberly's piano teacher does a Halloween Piano recital. This year it was at Riverton Music up in Sandy. She played Halloween Night by W.T. Skye Garcia. She wore her butterfly fairy costume and she did WONDERFUL. She is such a great pianist and I am SO proud of her. She played on the grand piano worth $80,000! Seriously, how awesome is that. We thought about buying it, but passed - maybe next time. Anyway, she had her picture taken with Bach, uh I mean her piano teacher. Lot's of fun! Grandma and Grandpa Honeycutt, Mom and Dad, and Aunt Trudy all came and supported her.













































Halloween Cookie Decorating


Trudy brought over Halloween cookies for the kids to decorate. They really had so much fun and LOVE when Trudy comes over. We had a good visit and had fun playing soccer/wrestling/rugby/keep away with the soccer ball in the living room.



















Pumpkin Carving
Burke and the kids carved pumpkins again this year. Kenadee carved the cat pumpkin, Skyler carved the bat pumpkin, Austin and Amberly did the mini pumpkin face and Amberly and Dad carved the BOO at the Daddy Daughter Pumpkin Party!










































Highlands 1st Ward Trunk or Treat and Chili Cook Off

Our ward has an annual Halloween Party and this year they did trunk or treating. We decoracted our trunk and actually won the contest! We won a Haunted House Decorating Kit! Lots of fun for the kids to make! Burke dressed up as Burger King, I dressed up as Wendy, Amberly was again the butterfly fairy, Skyler was the go go dancer, Kenadee was tinkerbell and Austin wore.............his pumpkin shirt. The kids had fun dancing to the Karoake Music and Austin had fun running around making Dad chase him while Mom chatted :)
































Halloween Night


Wow.....who needs Halloween Night with all the fun we had before! Regardless, the kids dressed up Amberly - butterfly fairy, Skyler - witch, Kenadee - ladybug, and Austin wore.......his pumpkin shirt (stubborn kid - no idea where he gets that from?). It was a beautiful night and Dad took all the kids around the neighborhood. I stayed home and handed out candy. Austin joined me after awhile and we hung out together on the front porch and enjoyed all the ghosts and goblins. Afterwards we watched food network's haunted cake making contest - lots of fun!
