Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with the Davenport family and Grandma Davenport's extended family. They asked us to bring a salad so I decided to make my layered Jell-o salad, and to make it in the cornucopia mold I have. It turned our beautiful.
























We stayed in St George at the Days Inn with our family, and had a ton of fun.

Our First Halloween

For our first Halloween together, we dressed up as Ghostbusters. On Friday we went to a Halloween institute dance. Our costumes were a big hit. They even played the Ghostbusters theme song. It was a blast. On Saturday we went to our ward Halloween party. Our costumes were a hit again. We had dinner (soup, rolls, and desserts) and then carved pumpkins. Jared made one into the ghostbusters logo, and I had one say "hi". Yeah Jared is the creative one not me. They both turned out pretty great though. On Halloween I dressed up for work. After Jared was home from school we frosted cookies and then put together goodie plates for some of our friends. We put our costumes on and delivered our treats, and went to Papa Murphey's to get a Jack-o-Lantern pizza along with cheese bread and cookie dough. While we ate pizza we watched "Donnie Darko" and turned off all the lights and lit some candles and plugged in our pumpkin lights. I have been sick with a nasty cold and worked at 4 am, so at 10:30 I was exhausted, even though I wanted to stay up and watch more movies.
Here are some pictures of us:




































We ended up buying some candy just to make sure we had something in case we got trick-or-treaters, but no one showed. I also went to Walmart and bought the 50% off candy so we have TONS.

It was a good Halloween. And looking forward to the many ahead.
