Halloweeen!

Gigi found her wings from her bee costume from last year when I was decorationg for Halloween and had so much fun being a little bee again.

Gigi and her crazy eye. That will be one for her boyfriends.
I got this cute idea from the Martha Stewart magazine. I didn't think to take a picture until the game was almost over. You fill the balloons with treats and confetti and the kids get blindfolded and get to pop the balloons. I have to say it was a hit. The kids loved this game. Next year I need to have way more balloons because there were so many kids that didn't get a chance to play.
Quick break for a family picture. Happy Halloween!!

We had fun teaching Gigi about Halloween. I have always loved Halloween. When Bubba and I first go married I would tap my fingers together like Mr. Burns and say Halloweeen with an exaggerated ee. Gigi will say ha ween and scrunch her fingers when she sees anything Halloween. She also learned trick or treat. Now if she wants a candy from her bucket she has to say trick or treat first. It is darling.

Bubba came up with our costume idea. It was a pretty good one and easy. We both had assignments at the ward harvest festival the Saturday night before Halloween so that is pretty much the extent of the energy I had for celebrating Halloween weekend. The Mason's came with us to play. Cymri was a great helper with the balloon popping game that I did for the primary kids.

My Dad had a business trip here in Vegas. Yet another perk to Vegas. So he decided to bring my mom and come out a few days earlier to spend some time with us. This brought my Grandma, Aunt Margaret and Uncle Gary into town also. How fun to have a weekend to spend with all of them. Gigi loves her Grandpapa. It was really cute to see the two of them playing together. We also got to hang out at some of the touristy areas here in town.
