halloween festivities

I LOVE HALLOWEEN.

and i couldn't have been more excited about it this year, since i now have a husband to get all dressed up with. we shopped around, but nothing seemed to satisfy us. until they made the announcement in our ward, "if you need a halloween costume contact terry." we were losing hope (and time) so we called up this lady in our ward and HOLY COW i've never seen someone so into halloween. she has an entire basement dedicated to the holiday, and she has just about every costume you could possibly think of. she pulled out tons of things for us to try on, and we finally decided on cruella deville. i put on the whole costume, and she started screaming, while grabbing danny's arm and said, "you look exactly like glenn close!!!" i'm not sure if i agree with her on that one, but it was fun to dress up. danny was jasper, my dog snatcher, and we had a great time. we started out the evening by eating mom's famous "halloween soup" with the family, and then we took cami trick-or-treating (and got candy for ourselves!) after a good two solid hours of knocking on doors we headed over to our friend's kim and clay for a fun party.
yay for holidays. next up: turkey day!
