Halloween Festivities

Our family dinner last night included some fun halloween festivities! My mother-in-law, Shirley, always makes holidays so fun for all of us, and this one was no different! Of course pumpkin carving is one of the traditions, so we did that, and as if that was not enough, she decided to take on cupcake decorating as well! She had all sorts of candy, an assortment of colors of frosting, and different kinds of cupcakes. We had a blast! Thanks Turners for the awesome night! Here's a few (ok, maybe more than a few) pictures...

Ash and Bry
Here's Dals scary face and Trav's batman

Ashlee's yoda and Bry's Buzz

All the adults (minus me...not a huge fan of the pumpkin carving mess) carving away

Even Cole got his hands in there

Here's our cupcake masterpieces! With a closeup of Joss' werewolf...do you think she's an artist?!

Trav and I
After we got done with all the cupcakes, we decided to decorate the children! Jace LOVED it!

Bry gave Cole a sweet goatee

WOW that looks like some serious fun time together! I love the pumpkins and the cupcakes; so intricate (I would NEVER have the patience for that; I would have been decorating the children at the beginning of the night instead of the end! haha) You look great darlin'!!

So cute! Sheree and Ashlee are mini Marthas! Can't wait to see everyone in less than a month.

It seriously was a fun night. Thanks for posting all of the pics, I've been too busy to get to it yet. Next year you better be in there carving a pumpkin with the rest of us!!

How cute!! I love that you frosted the kids faces. And, yes Trav, your batman IS awesome.

Little Chewbacca is the cuttest costume ever!

Those are some mad pumpkin carving skills!! Looks like fun, but one day YOU TOO will have to do the messy pumpkin carving for your own kids and you will have to love it!

Looks like you guys had one fun night. I was a little sad when I heard all the craziness that broke out. The icing on the boys in hilarious. I love their costumes too. The star wars theme is so cute. Thanks for putting pics I've been asking Ash to for a couple days.
