Hallow's Eve

Our first Halloween as a married couple was a success!

My class was cancelled for the day so I got up and started cooking Halloween themed food!

 I like the idea of decking out our apt. with decorations as well as making delicious Halloween themed meals. This is difficult when you only have a few decorations from the dollar store...but we made it work. #youngmarriedcoupleproblems
My mom would always use her creative juices to make Halloween food to celebrate Halloween so I followed this tradition and started making mummies and fingers (with breadstick dough and little pieces of tomatoes), hot chocolate with floating eyeballs (one m&m shoved in each marshmallow), and just your average taco soup (soooo gooood). I was proud of myself.

I went over to my sister-in-law Katie's house to sew my costume together. I'm not much of a seamstress, so Katie mostly took the reins. Thank goodness for her sewing skills! After my costume was complete, Zach and I were ready to trick or treat with the nieces and nephew!

It was really cold and a little rainy, so we didn't trick or treat for long, but it was so fun being with them. Another one of my sister-in-laws, Geri, and her two kids had come to Idaho to be here for when Katie had her little baby Matthew, so our trick-or-treating crew was quite large and full of love.

Henry isn't in this picture but he was a cute chunky cow. Left to right: Mallory, Lily, Kaylee, Riley, and Makenzie.

After spending quality time with family, Zach and I had a friend Halloween party with the Quigley's and cousin Quigley's! I felt so blessed this Halloween. I just stopped and felt how truly happy I was and I loved that feeling. I love that my family and my friends give me that feeling of joy. I can't wait until Thanksgiving!

By the way, Zach and I were Ben Franky and his trusted kite. It was so much fun!
