HALLOWEEN!

Carly and Ellie are wearing costumes that were handed down from Nanny Nette's house - I remember wearing these! I even have a picture of me as a clown (about Carly's age), with the same wig, but a different clown costume.

Sadly, I didn't get a picture of Aubree!!! She was a fairy - and so cute too!

We went to dinner at Tanner and Libby's house with some other friends and went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. We ended up at our house and enjoyed hot cocoa with our friends.

Hope you had a Happy Halloween!

Aaron and Camile: 80's Prom
Carly: Halloween Fairy
Ellie: Halloween Princess
Aubree: Sunflower (her cheeks are too chubby to fasten the velcro on her hat!)
This dress was one of my sister, Angela's favorite formals - thanks for letting me borrow it Ang! :) Unfortunately, I didn't have the right kind of product to keep the volume in my hair. I did get some helpful tips from my sisters on how to style it true-80's style... maybe next time. (I even made a corsage and boutoniere for Aaron and I)
This was my inspiration - too bad I don't have bangs and Aaron didn't have time to grow out a mullet! We really wanted to get a mullet wig for Aaron, but we thought of the idea too late. Isn't this picture totally RAD!

My scary dessert

We had a family Halloween party with my family on Friday. My parents and almost all of my siblings were there (we missed you Ryan and Ashley). We played games and had desserts and heard a story by a witch (Nanny Nette).

Aubree has perfected the poker face! She has this look on her face when she's unsure of someone (basically anyone other than our little family).

Carly and Ellie drew the faces, Mommy and Daddy cut them out.

Halloween and other stuff

Pre-Halloween

The final product (she has a hard time doing a "real" smile for the camera - I wish she would more often though because she has a beautiful smile)

Halloween Night

My parents came down and we had a Johnson Family Party at my sister, Angela's house - it's so fun to live close to family now! (Thanks Ang for being the Hostess - you're the best!)

Carly was a Pink Witch and Ellie was a Fairy Princess.

Post-Halloween

The day after Halloween we were able to go to the temple with my parents, brother and sister and their spouses and have my grandmother (she passed away last year) sealed to her parents - very neat! I'm so grateful for temples and eternal families!

Earlier this week Aaron's little sister, Franci, came to visit us with her family. Aaron's parents came the next day and we all went out to lunch.

Josh and Franci are some of our very favorite people to hang out with, so of course we had a fun time!
