Dallas and I are extremely blessed to be able to live in an area so close to family. My older brother and his family live 10 minutes away and we have loved being able to spend so much time with them and their four adorable kids; Lincoln, Rulon, Ellis, and little Will (aka Chub Chubs). We were excited for this weekends festivities, not only for Halloween and the absolute cuteness that would ensue with Will in his chubby pumpkin costume, but also to help celebrate Lincoln's 8th birthday and baptism. To help celebrate, my mom and dad and my other nephew Max flew down from Washington. I was able to pick them up at the Oakland airport and experience the joy that is Southwest! They have a yearly Halloween competition to see who can decorate the boarding gate the best and Max happened to be flying into the "New Moon" gate. It was even decked out with life size posters of both Jacob and Edward...it made my night!
Saturday was filled with lots of family fun! Dallas and I got alone time with mom and pops while they took us out to breakfast. We then met up with everyone for a day filled with pumpkin carving...Max and Lincoln had some fun playing in all of the "pumpkin guts" while Rulon had some fun bonding with his daddy, Erik.
It doesn't get much cuterthan this!
Of course their Uncle Dallas needed to join in the fun!
After the pumpkin carving and pizza were done, the kids got dressed and ready in their costumes. Max went as Harry Potter, Lincoln as Kobe Bryant, Rulon as Darth Vader, Ellie as the little mermaid, and Will as the token baby pumpkin. They had a blast going around the neighborhood trick-or-treating.
We had a great night, the kids ate way too much candy...maybe we did too.
Overall it was a pretty great weekend :)
Love the pictures! And I am so jealous about the "New Moon" gate - if you come to Utah for the 21st you can go to "New Moon" with us for my girly party!!
