How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
Too many options!
Halloween night was a bit chaotic for us this year! Eric signed up to make his chili, he volunteered me to make cornbread, and I made sugar cookies (in the cutest pumpkin & ghost shapes) for our ward Trunk or Treat. The missionaries asked Eric to take them to the activity, so I was going to ride with my parents so the boys could have some room in our little Jetta... well the missionaries called 30 minutes before the activity and asked Eric if some investigators could follow him to the church. Of course he said yes and he headed over there as I left with my parents. Long story short, 45 minutes after the activity started they finally arrived. Apparently the family was not quite ready yet. Eric's chili did not make it in time for the contest and everyone was finished eating when he got there. But it was excellent and even spicier today! We decorated my parents trunk again this year since its quite a bit bigger and we WON best trunk! This is our 3rd year in a row with that title and we plan on keeping it! Sarah Grace had fun, but was not a big fan of her headband/tiara and ended up throwing it down and breaking it. I will be repairing it tomorrow because I'm sure she will love it in a few years for dress up! Her wand was also used as a weapon, but I'm pretty sure she only used it on her daddy! Thank you Nana for the darling costume. Everyone loved it! ...even though I did leave it at the church that night when I was chasing down a naked 3 1/2 year old who had managed to stip out of her costume! Wow, that was sooooo not fun! We got up first thing saturday morning to search the church and sure enough we found it! Luckily! I'm sure it would have been snagged up this morning between all the wards. Man do I ramble on and on and on! Sarah Grace was very excited about her candy, well mostly the crinkling noises the wrappers made. But she did get to enjoy another lollipop and was even kind enough to share with everyone! Such a sweet little one! Happy Hallween !!!

So cute! Her tiara and wand totally made the costume though I think the tights were definitely a spot of color! Eric's goofy hands are so funny. I wish you'd include a picture of the trunk.Sorry the chili didn't make into the contest since I'm sure Eric put his heart and soul into it's creation.
I love the wand and crown Idea. She looks so cute. I really love the tights too. That's cool you guys won again. Next year you should give us some pointers. I'm impressed by all of your cooking skills, too bad nobody got to sample the chili. You ward seems to have more fun contests than ours did. HMM maybe next year.
What cute pictures. Her costume is so cute and that tiara very cute on her. I would love to see picture of the awesome job that yall did on the trunk sounds like it was awesome.
eric's hands are a little creepy. i'm surprised gracie didnt get weirded out about that. gracie looked super cute! glad you found the costume. too bad about the chili. i'm sure it was tasty!
