halloweeing & halloween

 

 halloween is the #1 family favorite holiday here at the gregroy residence, we live and breathe it. so even though it has come and gone we still have to adequately document this year's halloween season because was nothing short of perfect.

 

thanks to my little mom, we have found the absolute perfectly perfect place to get pumpkins and it's just down the road from us in draper. don't even get me started on the adorable 85 year old man working the pumpkin patch who was all snuggled up in his coat and happy to help, or the prices that were beyond affordable (5 big pumpkins for $11), or the BOUNTIFUL selection, or the over all quaintness of it. it was perfect, and we will be going back there every year.

done.

 yaya and papa joined us and as you can tell, my kids are elated. we have the best family, really it's been scientifically proven.

onto the rest of halloween....

 we had the funnest murder mystery party hosted by brooke and dustin, we felt pretty special getting an invite into their elite townhome friend community. really, it was SO fun. visit here for a taste.

 this year marked my first time as a halloween party room mom. i had to bring schmez, and luckily greta was at school at the same time so we all partied together. oh and kindergartner's? adorable.

 lol.

 gaga in the preschool parade.

 ahoy ezzie!

the kindergarten parade.

this is the best picture i could get but i'm super glad he's reverent while parading.

the third annual jackson/gregory halloween adventure was upon us as soon as school was over... it seemed. nannie and grandpa mike joined us for our festivities. the kids trick or treated the streets of white city in all of their pirate glory for an hour and then we came home to salad, pizza, pumpkin bars and LOADS of our childrens loot. 

i like this tradition.

 since jude is mr. halloween we let him decide the fate of the kids costumes this year. he was big into themes this year (ie. harry, ron, and hermione - mario, baby mario, and princes peach - luke, yoda, and leia) but when after weeks of indecision minie and poptart set their mind to pirates and jude seemed to feel like that would be okay with him too and pirates it was. 

A VERY SPECIAL THANKS to nannie who whipped up this costumes in her spare time (which is non existent between taking her of her mom, working full time, and making costumes for all my other sisters). she is MAMAzing. 

a wench and her pirates.   

since i was a room mom, jude bossed me into dressing up too.

 damn he's cute.

 daddies who trick or treat.

the pirate crew.

 my birthday, halloween, my anti-depressants getting lost in the mail, jude's birthday, and our relief society super saturday that i was in charge of all in one week... it was WAY more than i could handle.

now i can breathe in the freezing cold air.
