Major Family Picture Overload

I now turn my blog into a book each year, and I love having all the family pictures in one place, so my lucky 7 friends who still read my blog...you get to see them ALL! If I don't put them here, I can never find them when it is time to make the book. So, please forgive the overabundance of Romney faces in this post :). Janel took them for us at Millpond Park at the beginning of October, so they doubled as Pierce's one year pictures and we really loved how they all turned out. She is so great. I LOVE having her take our photos. *For the record, my whole family HATES taking family pictures (Mike maybe the most). In fact, many times I heard, "Taking pictures makes it like the worst day of the whole year." So, big props to Janel and Derek for making it fun.

I am trying to decide which ones to put on the walls, so if you have a favorite, let me know!!

Halloween

All right...let me be honest. Not my favorite holiday, but we did have a good time this year with a knock out ward Halloween party, an awesome Halloween FHE and pumpkin carving night, more candy than we could count, fun school parties, and trick or treating through our neighborhood. Even this Halloween Scrooge had a pretty good time. 

Our family theme was Wizards! I was Dorothy, Mike the scarecrow, Pierce the tin man and Jace, Parker and James were different Wizards...the ones from Harry Potter :). 

As we got ready for the Halloween party and Jace thought his costume was too big/hot/itchy/annoying and refused to wear most of it, and Pierce would NOT keep his tin man hat on and Mike showed up to the party late from work, and I had to bring a huge thing of chili, condiments, candy, kids etc. to the church on my own, I remembered why it has never been my favorite holiday.

But, then we got to the party, Pierce was crazy cute, Mike made it and dressed up, the boys found friends, the ward members had awesome costumes, the food was good, the decor, games and stories amazing and the kids got more candy than anyone should, I changed my tune. It really was a fun holiday! But...still glad it's over.
