The Epic Great Pumpkin Party

\This is usually my longest post of the year. And usually one of the most fun packed parties of the year. So lets begin...
We had the kids dress up this year for a lot of the party. It was so much fun. Isn't this little guy the cutest LUMBER JACK you ever saw? I got the whole outfit jimmy rigged at the DI for less than $5 minus his jeans which he wears all the time anyways. SOOO cute. Dan loved it and approved because its a manly costume and doesn't make him look femmy or lame.
Jack would follow gram to the end of the earth. It was such wonderful weather for the party. The kids played and played outside and they were seriously covered in sand and dirt. But they had a BLAST.
Here are Gram and Papa with the kiddos (minus oaklee who couldnt make it this year). We have a Lumber Jack, John the Hunter, Carol Princess Aurora, Avery Hawiian Girl, and Kambree Hawiian Girl #2. So cute. The pumpkin patch looked great this year. I wonder how my mom miraculously grows amazing pumpkins every year. (ok she at least can grow awesome vines :) love you mom!)

I just think this pic is adorable. What would it be to be 2 again?
And the sweet princess on her pumpkin.
Here are Jack and Kambree checking out the inner workings of the hot walker... but a couple on engineers out on the town....
This is part of our feast! It was so delicious!
This year we went all out on the halloween themed food. For breakfast we had orange pumpkin pancakes, for lunch we made pizzas one was a jackolantern, one had spider olives with a string cheese web, one had a giant olive bat, and i'm not remembering what the last one was. but they were goooo ooood!And for dinner Papa made steaks on the fire pit for the "men" and the rest had pumpkin cheeseburgers. We even had cinnamon sugar bat chips and bat tortilla chips (homemade) it was all very cute, and very delicious. I wish I would have taken more pix of it. It was also conference weekend, and it sure was nice to fit a little conference in here and there throughout the weekend.
Jack and Kambree found Pokey the Pony and they pushed and pulled all over the lawn.Then we had to trick or treat the front door. I love how Jack is layed back and ready to pass out from a fun filled day.
