HAPPY HALLOWEEN....

 Okay....I know it is way past Halloween, but I thought I would share something that happened in the month of October. We went to a murder mystery dinner, Andrew had his first Halloween, we carved really cute pumpkins, and a new nephew was born.
The title of the Murder Mystery Dinner was "The Pungent Pumpkin Processing Company Anniversary Dinner." It was very old fashioned and we had a lot of fun. We even took cute pictures. My name was Gigi Sparkle and Jeff was a detective. We had a wonderful dinner followed by a delicious dessert that I made. (Brownies with Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream and Strawberry Gelato)


This year for Halloween I wanted to do something as a family. Jeff was Mario, Andrew was baby Mario and I was Princess Peach. It was a lot of fun making both Jeff's and Andrew's Mario hats. We got some pictures but it was dark outside so they didn't turn out the best. Andrew was so adorable and we even went out trick or treating with our niece Sarah and nephew James. They were adorable as well and dressed up as scary ghosts. They would go door to door and say "Trick or Treat" then after they received candy they were both say together, "Thank you! Boo!" It was really cute. I wish I got it on video.
We also carved pumpkins which has been a tradition for the last couple of years. We have carved U and BYU pumpkins, hello kitty and Mickey Mouse, funny faces and scary faces, and this year because of our costume idea we decided to stick with the theme of Mario Bros. Jeff carved Mario and I carved Bowser and a mushroom cartoon face.





On October 30th an adorable baby boy was born. Baby Samuel Kenji Peterson. He is so cute and so tiny. You forget how tiny newborns really are. On October 31st Natalie (Jennie's sister), James, Sarah, Andrew, and I went to visit them at the hospital. Jennie dressed Sarah and James in their ghost costumes and both Natalie and I were able to hold precious Samuel. :)





Overall, we had a fabulous October. Did anyone else dress up?

It sounds like you had a fun Halloween! I love the Mario theme you chose, and the Mario hats are adorable. I also love the pumpkins! To answer your question, Annie dressed up like a lady bug, Adam was a scarecrow, and I wore an old 80's costume. In other words, we just pulled stuff out of a box from previous Halloweens.
