Halloween Party

For the past few months me and Dal have gone over to my brother Jake's house every other Sunday for game night. Which is always a lot of fun! The attendees usually include, Jake and Becca, Jessika and Wade, Rachel and a guest, and Becca's brother Caleb and his girlfriend Bailey. Our game nights usually consist of lots of yummy treats, laughter, and lots of family fun! Our last game night was the day before Halloween so Becca and I put together a Halloween Party! We told all of the couples to dress up and to bring a pumpkin. The night included a Halloween photo shoot, cookie decorating, a pumpkin carving contest and ended with a scary movie. The entire night was filled with Halloween music, and tons of fun and laughter, I thought it was a great success! Here are some pictures of our awesome costumes, see if you can guess who we dressed up as.....
 Keaton as the Cutest Pumpkin ever.
 The Dettinger clan.
 Jake and Becca as Jim and Pam Halpert from the Office.
 Me starring as Flo from Progressive.
 Dal and I love the All-State and Progressive commercials and were so excited to dress up as Flo and Mayhem, I think we did a pretty good job!

 Dal rocked his Mayhem costume. Mayhem is from All-state for those of you who don't know, he is the running hot babe commercial. haha Way funny!

 I thought we did a pretty darn good job with our costumes!
 Caleb and Bailey as each other, love it.
 Jess and Wade as a cowgirl and cowboy.
 Rachel and Wayne as Barbie and Ken, on roller blades, so even better!
 Pumpkin Carving Contest

 Mine and Dallin's pumpkin. We hammered cookie cutters in the pumpkin to create the shapes and then carved of the outer orange layer, turned out pretty cute. and not messy! no carving out pumpkin guts required, it was pretty fun, easy and turned out great. Only default to doing this, it doesn't glow in the dark, because the middle isn't carved out to put a candle in it. But I think overall, it was a fun experiment and we recommend it for anyone that doesn't want a big mess from pumpkin guts.
 The final result.
 Jake and Becca carved the fish, Caleb and Bailey did the mummy, then mine and Dal's, then Rachel and Wayne's SuperMan pumpkin, and Jess and Wade's cyclops. They all turned out so good.
Photo Shoot. I am quite proud of the decorations, and thought it turned out really cute and Halloweeny. Thank you mom for the pumpkin patch in the bottom right corner, I love this decoration!
 I made this cute Witch sign with Dallin's family the weekend before, I think it is so cute!
I made this Halloween sign out of brown paper lunch sacks, scrapbook paper, ribbon and I cut out the letters with my cricut. It only took a couple hours and was pretty easy to make, I am quite proud of myself and can't wait to hang it in my apt next Halloween! 
Overall, I think the party was a great success! We had lots of fun, lots of yummy treats, some great pumpkin carving skills, and some awesome costumes to remember about!
Now that Halloween is over, it's time to get out the fall/thanksgiving decorations...hooray!!
