Why is everyone saying it's only 5 days until Christmas? I FIRMLY believe that it is barely past Halloween...

For Halloween we invited some friends over for Grandma Wallace's Halloween chili, karaoke, and trick or treating. Christy has a son Tucker's age, a daughter Ilah's age, a son Henry's age and an adorable five year old son. Our children have been good buddies ever since we moved here. We decided at the ward party that it would be fun for the kids to trick or treat together. Taysom invited her friend Brittany over too. After some delicious chili, we took turns singing, and sent the younger kids around the block. Then Mike and I dropped Ilah and Lydia off at Zoe's house so the ketchup and mustard could trick or treat together. We capped off the evening taking the boys around the neighborhood. It was packed!!!!
The Spook Light adventure didn't pan out so Taysom and Brittany challenged Tucker and Matthew to an ice cream carving contest. Then they left their creations on an unsuspecting strangers doorstep... I don't get it either... Later they watched Monsters vs. Aliens and, of course, handed out the candy.

Revealing who we truly are...

Betcha didn't know that Albert Einstein and the Ninja turtles were close personal friends.


Too cute condiments!

Happy Halloween!

I love the entire month of December, and I dread when Christmas day arrives, and very last present under the tree is unwrapped. After that, it's all over, with relatively little to look forward to.
