More Fall Pics Plus Halloween Festivities 2013

Love this hairdo and outfit on her.

Pumpkin carving at its best.



After last year's Ariel pumpkin that Eric carved, the girls had big ideas for Eric's pumpkin work this year.  He always does well.  :)

The finished products (that ended up rotting before Halloween, by the way.)

It was "crazy hair day" at school last week, so the girls had big crazy hair during the day.  Then at night when we took it out, they had another crazy hairdo to celebrate.  Silly sisters.

I think one of the girls took this picture.  They love Eric's fish.  Notice how the gravel at the bottom of the aquarium is uneven.  The fish love to dig through the rocks...Kinda' funny.

Farmington's Halloween Event 2013 at the Community Arts Center.
The debut of the Klein/Allen girls Halloween costumes:  Abbey as Abbey Bominable (The Monster High doll), Ava as Rainbow Dash (a My Little Pony), and Andi as Spectra (another Monster High doll.)

Bethany, Jesse, Gigi, Ron, Joann, and our family all met at the event.  Look at Gigi in her chicken costume....cutest chicken ever.

Abbey and Ava on the left goin' at it at the donut-eating contest.

Andi and Grandpa Ron making Halloween cookies. 
Ron and Joann had just returned from their trip to China to visit Aunt Ruthie.  They were super busy that weekend, but still made time to stop by Farmington and join us for some Halloween festivities.  So grateful for their support.  They are so loved and appreciated.

Abbey got a bird painted on her face--So fun!

A blue bird...perfect for Aves.

Last Saturday we went to lunch with all of my mom's family at Maddox in Brigham City.  I don't see that side of our family much anymore, so it was good to see them all again.  It was my grandpa's 86th birthday.

When I'm going to or from our garage, I often see these picturesque scenes on the mountains and I can't help but take a shot or two.

On the side of our house.  Beautiful fall.


Our backyard.


Right outside the kitchen window.

Abbey's back in Grandma Zimmerman's kitchen once again!  Abbey has missed her Grandma so much and is so grateful to have her back from the mission.  Last Sunday Grandma Zimmerman made Halloween treats with the girls.


 



Andi and I went to visit Ron and Joann in Orem while they stayed there during their official moving weekend.  Daniel and his family were there as well as Isaac.  We decided to enjoy the pool and take a swim.

Andi with her cute cousin Maelee.  That night Andi showed her grandpa and uncles how awesome she is at diving in the pool.  She was so brave and let them catch her as she cannon-balled in each time.  I was so very proud of her.

Grandma Cathi came by on the week of Halloween to drop off some Halloween treats for the girls.  Cathi's favorite holiday is Halloween, so she always has some fun loot to share with the girls.


The official Farmington Elementary Halloween parade!  Andi in her "Spectra" costume.

Abbey at the school parade in her "Abbey Bominable" costume.

Grandpa Luke was kind enough to join us at school parade.  He even carried Ava around the whole time and she loved it.

Abbey's 2nd grade class Halloween program.

Ava sure did get comfortable on Grandpa's shoulders.  :)

Andi and Gigi on Halloween.

My favorite part of the entire Halloween season...Seeing all the Luke cousins in the amazing costumes!  We all met at Grandma and Grandpa Luke's place before we headed out in our own neighborhoods for some trick-or-treating.

From left to right:
Luke as a "miner zombie," Spencer as a referee, Chase as a policeman, Connor (you can barely see him) as a dinosaur), Chloe as Ariel the bride, Lydia as a darling eskimo girl, Noah as a pirate, Carter as the "scream" ghost, baby Bowen as a lion, Abbey as a Monster High doll, Ava as a My Little Pony, and Andi as another Monster High doll.  (Notice Abbey and Andi's wigs...they saved the wigs for Halloween night and boy did they complete the costumes.)



Hangin' out at Mom's.

Noah the Pirate...age 3.

Chase as the best policeman ever.

Headed to our neighbor's for some homemade donuts and then off to trick-or-treat.

Eric was a good sport and took them trick-or-treating this year.  He ended up wearing his infamous Halloween wig.  :)

Look at that lady...Hard to believe it's Andi!

Two peas in a pod.
 
Halloween season is definitely one of the best times of the year.  Hate to see it go.  On to colder months, holidays, and no yard work.  (The latter being my favorite.)
