Happy Halloween!

Halloween was fun! For the first time ever, we got creative with our Halloween dinner. It's usually chili, or something semi-nutritious, but this year, we just had fun. We made mummy dogs and owl cupcakes. Everyone was happy with the awesome dinner. :)

Then we got into costumes and waited for Dad. He got to come home early so he could go trick-or-treating with us. We had an Indian, a kangaroo and a bumblebee. Couldn't have been cuter. The kids brought home more candy than they've ever had in their lives. They even got a stuffed animal from one house (Nina's favorite) and a can of soda from another house (Satchel's favorite--it was Diet Vernor's, and he thought it was delicious).

Precious Jude

I have always called Jude a "precious little nugget." If I say something else, like "sweet boy," he says, "I not a sweet boy. I a precious nugget!"

He also regularly sings this little song:

Nina's Baptism

On November 3, little Nina was baptized. She was soooo excited. There are 11 children in her Primary class, and she has gone with me to all the baptisms during the year. She is number 9 to be baptized, and she was thrilled that it was finally her turn.

She was baptized at the Bountiful Tabernacle (our stake center). We had to go early to get the white clothes and some instructions. I snapped this picture during that time, and you can see how excited she is.

She looked so pretty in her white dress, and she was so cute and confident as she stood up and was introduced. She positively beamed.
