Better Late Than Never

Halloween was a blast! We spent the evening at my sister Stephani's and enjoyed creative pizza and halloween treats. Stephani has an awesome house for family gatherings, thanks for letting us hang that night Steph! It was by far the funnest Halloween we've had yet!

Our Costumes



Tanner was Tigger, and boy does he play the part well. Owen wanted to be Spiderman of course. I was a princess. Grant was Pooh Bear, thanks Steph for letting us borrow this one. And Jared was himself...I know, pretty scary.



We started our day off decorating cookies at Aunt Ruth Ann's place with all the Osborn cousins. They had fun and enjoyed eating them the most. A very sugar filled day. Suzanna, Renee & Rachel were in town from the Seattle area where Jared's brother Joe is going to school. His wife's name is also Melissa. And Kaycee, Ruth Ann's daughter, was kind enough to share the cookies she made with her mom.


Owen and Suzanna have always been two peas in a pod. He loved to get to see her. They have a lot of fun together, two cute little trouble makers.

Later that night Stephani wowed us with her homemade spider pizza, and a hawiian one too. She's always so creative and makes holidays a lot of fun. They tasted as good as they looked. Oh and the foil was covering the crust, which was actually a bread stick style crust that was so good. You don't know what your missing until you try baked goodies from the Wilcoxon home.

Grandpa and Grandma stopped in and even let the kids trick or treat from a homemade treat bag Grandma Nelle made. She's so good at making things like this. All the kids were so excited to trick or treat from the playroom's doorway.

Tigger Tanner, a perfect pick for a bouncy boy. He loved all the treats. Steph and the kids decorated them and shared with us. Look at those eyes, hard to resist when he puts on this face.

Had to get a picture of all the ladies together. Emmy and Steph had matching devil ears, I was of course the princess, and Nelle was her beautiful self.

Owen and Tanner went trick or treating for their first time this year. They were so cute! The only part that wasn't so cute was them trying to go inside every house we went to. They were just so excited. The very first house we went to had a cool scary archway that led to the front door, and when Tanner saw it he just kept squealing the words "COOL" over and over. He was fascinated. Cool decorations, dressing up and free candy for just saying "trick or treat," its no wonder we all love Halloween...even as adults. It was so much fun sharing this new experience with their cousins: Dabriah, Lexxi, & Isaac! The younger kids stayed back and played with Aaron and Jared. My little sister Emily and her husband Jake even joined us for part of it. Oh, to be a kid again...
