Lovin Halloween!

I had a wonderful birthday! Some of the Young Women's presidency took me out for ice cream, Zach and Courtney brought cookies to our institute class (thanks so much!) and the class sang to me. I came home to a flower delivery with a card that said "Love Dad and Marie." I called my dad to thank him and he said "That was nice of me, I am really nice." Later he admitted that he had nothing to do with the flowers so THANK YOU MARIE!

Andrew and Alex spoiled me so much and then the night ended in a Ladies Night with the RVU wives so it was a great day! Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

On Friday my dad and Marie came over so that I could meet Marie. We had a wonderful short evening together. I think Marie is so sweet and kind and I am so excited that she and my dad can bring happiness to each other!

Saturday we were able to go to the Fall Festival hosted by RVU. Alex got to wear his Halloween costume for the first time and he looked adorable!

 Alex loves his costume! After getting it on he kept saying "I'm going to look in the mirror." Once I showed him that the pads on his hands and chest glow in the dark he thought the outfit was even cooler.

 The night ended with the ward Trunk or Treat and chili cook-off.

We of course went through Alex's candy afterward, like good parents. Alex is so sweet, he will share his candy so willingly.

We continued our Halloween preparations tonight by carving our pumpkins. Alex loved cleaning out his pumpkin and he thought it was so great that his dad shared some of the spooky teeth with him.

Megan's, Alex's and then Andrew's

Alex didn't want to leave the pumpkins outside when it was time to go to bed. His pumpkin got to sleep in his room with him.
