Tricks and Treats

I've had so much fun this year with Halloween. I've made lots of fun treats and having Tanner just makes the whole holiday more fun. He's so fun to take pictures of and to play with. He's such a good baby that I just can't get enough of him. I made Tanner's costume last week, but then when I had him try it on six days later- we sat him up- and the zipper ripped out. He's such a little chunker. So then I decided to remake it- but I waited until two days before this time. Luckily he didn't out grow it this time.
So after making Tanner's costume twice- we finally got our act together- this is the herb family- Halloween 2009.Chris is Zeus, I'm Hera, and Tanner is Hercules.


Here is a close up of Tanner- He's so fun and didn't cry at all!


We had a blast. We went to the ward party for a little bit. Tanner hasn't been feeling very well this week after he got his shots on monday, so we didn't stay long. We ate some Chilli, saw the costume parade then headed to my parents house. We watched the orginal Dracula and Frankenstein with them while Tanner slept. It was fun- I'd never actually seen the original movies.
While we watched we enjoyed the halloween treats my mom and I had made a few days before. Here are some of the things we made

Scary Snack Mix

Ding-a-ling Spiders

Candy corn pudding cups

Donut hole eyeballs

Oreo magic dragon
I also made these little halloween place settings. Teethy grin plates, mummy napkins and pumpkin glasses.


All in all, a great halloween. I can hardly wait to start planning our costumes for next year. It will be so fun, because hopefully Tanner will be walking by then, and we will get to go to the kid's halloween festival and the hayride. And he'll be old enough to understand more of whats going on. I hope everyone had a safe and fun halloween!
