We have such an awesome family. Love you all!

Halloween 2011

On the front porch with the pumpkin family.

Our "scary pumpkin". The top drawing was Tom's idea that he shared with Jared. Jared replied that it wasn't nearly scary enough, and drew the pumpkin on the bottom. We went with Jared's idea.

Here is the result -- Jared was thrilled.

And it was the thickest pumpkin we've ever seen. The shell was honestly at least 4 inches thick all the way around.

Our funny crew at the Trunk-Or-Treat night a few days earlier. Laura and I are flowers, Tom is a Pole-Vaulting Zombie (all from Plants Vs. Zombies) and Jared, who changed from his costume idea last-minute, is a skeleton. Once again, he was thrilled.

I had a hard time capturing a good picture with all of us in it. We really, really tried! Here are the three of them during the dinner chaos in the cultural hall.

We hope you all had a happy Halloween!
