The Call Family

Our cute little family. Avery decided a couple of months ago that she wanted to be Dorothy for Halloween. I asked her who I should be and she said, “Mommy, you have to be Glinda and daddy has to be the Tin Man!” Skyler was such a good sport to dress up with us.

Halloween was really busy this year! We started out at noon at my mom’s house for pizza. When we were done eating we went to a kiddie carnival at Highland Gardens. They had lots of fun activities for kids to do there. Avery made a cute ghost sucker. This is Avery standing outside. Note: Look at her cute costume, I am proud to say that I made it with the help of my wonderful mother!

After the carnival we headed back to my mom’s house so she and my sister could help me curl my hair. Avery sat on the couch with her Uncle Tyler and he read her stories and then she took a nap. Doesn’t she look so peaceful?!?

When Avery woke up from her nap we headed home to frost some cupcakes for our ward carnival and trunk-or-treat. Avery loved the cake walk and eating the cupcake when they called her number. They had lots of fun activities for the kids to do and following that everyone sat in the trunks of their cars and handed out candy. Avery enjoyed walking around and getting candy from all of the cars.

After the trunk-or-treat we headed over to Skyler’s mom’s house for pumpkin soup bowls and homemade root beer. Skyler’s brother, Blaze, dressed up as the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz to go along with our theme. He played the scarecrow in the children’s play of The Wizard of Oz at Hale Center Theater in Orem over the summer.

I love this picture because Avery adored seeing Blaze as the Scarecrow.

When we were done eating we trick-or-treated to a couple of houses in Skyler’s mom’s neighborhood and a couple in my mom’s neighborhood. Following that we headed over to my Aunt Pam’s house. My Uncle Trever makes homemade donuts every year on Halloween and they are the best so we had to go have some. When we were done there we went to my Grandpa Hutchings house to visit. We didn’t get home until 11:00. It was super busy, but also super fun!
