celebrating halloween

Presenting our adorable little lion...

and our silly little tiger...

Aiden LOVED wearing his costume and got silly every time he put it on (hence the reason he is laughing in all the pictures I got of him!)

We got to celebrate Halloween for an entire week this year.  We started it off a week before Halloween with dinner and games with some of the Tadje family.  Becca & Swen did a fun cake walk that all the kids loved and wanted to keep playing over and over.

B and his adorable cousins.  It was so fun to see them all sit around each other and fight over the same toys to chew on.  

We also got to go to a ward party one night and a company party another night. So Nate and I dressed up this year too.  Now to explain our costumes...


Ever since Nate was little, he has had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch.  And now that he is 25, he still eats a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch every day - actually he eats 3 each day. His friends at work laugh at his funny (should I say childish) habit.  So when Nate and I were invited to a company Halloween party, we decided we would be nothing other than a PBJ.  So we went to DI for some clothes, bought some poster board and created our $5 costumes. Nate called us the white trash pbjs cause our costumes were made from old clothes and drawing on poster board with crayons, but it worked!

On Saturday we went to my parent's house and attended the neighborhood trunk or treat which was perfect because the weather was cold and wet.

After the trunk or treat we hung out at my parent's house drinking my mom's famous bubbly root beer, eating cookies, cupcakes, and lots of candy.  I think we are all a little sugared out now but it was worth it!
