Halloween 2014

"Hi! I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs."

That was the theme of my costume for preschool. Of course the kids went crazy over it! I bought a $3 hat from Michaels, picked up some 33 cent felt, and drew the eyes and eyebrows on with a marker. The twiggy things on top are pipe cleaner and I used hot glue for the nose. It was SO EASY and so perfect! 

 There were multiple Elsas around at preschool and so I figured Olaf would be fitting. 

The next day was actual Halloween. At Dixie (my other job) we got to decorate pumpkin cookies but of course I had to be different so I turned my pumpkin cookie on its side and created a frankenstein. It was fun to create!

After work I went home to pack and finish making treats for our annual Halloween party that we have with Drew's friends up in Cedar! Our first party was last year. You can remember that here.

Anyways, this year I made some peanut butter + powder sugar creepy fingers and carmel popcorn. They were both a hit!  

The party was up at Ellen's cabin and it was a murder mystery theme. It was pretty fun! A couple of us had a part and we all had to figure out who the murderer was. Afterwards we played a new funny game called Egg Roulette, and then a few rounds of telephone gestures. We finished the night off by watching a scary movie. 

 This year Drew and I dressed up as Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. Our costumes were homemade/DIY. I found my outfit at D.I. and I put Drew's together. I made his hat and shoes out of felt. I'd say we pulled our characters off pretty well!

We stayed the night at the cabin and the next morning Taylor made us all breakfast burritos. We left a little while later and headed to Richfield for the rest of the weekend to celebrate Konner's birthday and ordination. I will talk about that more in my next post.

I thought this hill was fitting for Halloween because can you see how it resembles a candy corn?!

Overall it was a great party and we love how everyone always goes all out to dress up! It's always a blast to be with everyone and we're already looking forward to next year.

I wonder what we will dress up as next time!? 

Love,

Kate
