September 26, 2009: Grandpa's Pumpkin Party

Saturday was one of my favorite parties of the year. My Grandpa's Pumpkin Party. Our little family dressed up as characters from Pinocchio this year. My wonderful husband even dressed up with me. I've been working hard on these costumes the last two weeks and I couldn't wait to put them on parade. There are still some kinks to work out, mostly with Hyrum's, but I think all in all the costumes turned out great!

I requested that we take pictures of everyone's costumes before we did anything else because, lets face it, with my boys, spit up happens and it happens a lot.

*Some of the pictures are big I know. But it takes a while to load pictures with our internet and I accidentally had it set on large. I'm too lazy to change it, so I hope you enjoy the extra large pics.*












After pictures we had dinner. . .



. . .and then it was fun and games. My aunt brought her balloon dartboard- a fun and popular tradition. I didn't win anything but Craig won me a pretty leaf plate.



While everyone played the game. I took some more pics.

Here's Craig playing dead.



Here are the kids running and playing.



These two little girls are twins that live by my brother and sis-in-law.



After the game we all gathered round the pumpkin patch. This is always the highlight of the evening.








While everyone was picking pumpkins we got a pic of the cousins with their babies. We are all about a year a part and we have each had a baby, or in my case babies, within this last year.


Here's some fun pics to wrap up the post

Big H loves the tulle on my dress as much as his brother. He was playing with it all night.

Such a fun pumpkin party! Thank you Grandpa and Grandma! It was wonderful as always!
