HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Halloween this year was a lot of fun! I dressed up in two different costumes because last year was kind of a drag!

The first costume was for our ward's Halloween Carnival! Dallan didn't participate with this one but he was a trooper with handling my dorky-ness. This costume was a lot of fun. My dad has some teeth he hadn't opened yet that he let me used and I'm glad he did because it made the whole costume!!

I laugh every time I look at this picture!

My sister was a cowgirl =)

My cousin JaCoy was an old lady! She even had a walker!!! HILARIOUS!

I'm glad Dallan loves me and my dorky self!

My second costume I wore for Trunk-or-Treat! I'm a huge fan of "The Vampire Diaries" and my favorite characters are Katherine and Damon! So Dallan and I went as them and my little sister went as Katherine's doppelganger Elena since we look a lot alike (I know... TV addict/nerd alert). Our teeth didn't quite stay in but the make-up was awesome!

My dad has A LOT of fun with his funky teeth!

I was a little into the Vampire thing...

Katherine and Elena take one... ahhaha

Take two! Much better!

I'm so glad Dallan is a trooper when it comes to my holiday spirit! Love that man!

My mom was a Witch!! She looked AWESOME!

One of my youngest cousins was Sully! He looked so cute

Sully and his twin puppy sisters! I love them to death!

Now it's time to eat some candy and watch Hocus Pocus!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

My FAVORITE Halloween Movies!

Since Halloween is just around the corner... I have been watching A LOT of my favorite Halloween movies. And by Halloween movies, I'm talking MOSTLY family friendly kinds. I don't like horror films like the actual "Halloween" movies or movies like "Scream" and "The Ring"... NO THANK YOU! The 90's girl in me can't resist the cheesy, but oh-so-awesome Disney Channel Original Halloween movies!

Here are some of my favorites:

"Hocus Pocus"- This movie is a MUST watch every year! It's not Halloween if you don't watch it at least once!

"Under Wraps"- Who doesn't love a movie about a love sick mummy?!

"Halloweentown" AND "Halloweentown 2: Kalabar's Revenge" - A city JUST for Halloween creatures and goblins! AWESOME.

"Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire" - Vampires... enough said! (I have a HUGE obsession with them...)

"Twitches"- Tia and Tamera Mowry... c'mon! Who DIDN'T love "Sister, Sister"

"Casper"- A classic friendly ghost story of course!

"The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad"- Specifically the Sleepy Hollow with Ichabod (I'm not a Mr. Toad fan..)

"Ghost Busters"- Who doesn't love to bust out dancing to the theme song?!

"The Haunted Mansion"- Eddie Murphy cracks me up in this one!

"The Little Vampire"- Again, Vampires!

And if you want to watch a semi-scary movie but don't like to get too freaked out like me. I would recommend Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho". BUT make sure it is the ORIGINAL one, not the new version! I'm sure the newest version is COMPLETELY scary!

And for Dallan's sake... I usually watch Van Helsing with him... It's not my favorite though..

Halloween Festivities Begin!

I started the holiday festivities this weekend by... PUMPKIN CARVING! I love carving pumpkins! This year wasn't my most intricate carving, but I still loved the end result! I got together with my best friends and we made a party out of it. It was a lot of fun!
