All Hallow's Eve

It's that time of year again...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Beautiful weather, creative costumes and sweet treats - just some of the reasons why I love this holiday.

Here's a look at what went down in Ohio this week:

Lovely weather that included some spectacular sunsets

Creative costumes at the University Ward party

A bee, a bear and a bee keeper

(Jen, Brody and Tyson)

Dog and accompanying hydrant

(Angie & Scott*)

*Steve went to high school with Scott, who is the 2nd counselor in our bishopric...

Double Rainbow

(John & Trisha)

Catwoman & Robin

(Allison & Zach and their wee one)

French fries & Ice cream

(Rachael & Dan)

Hook, Peter, Tink & Wendy Lady

(The Christenson's)

Karl Malone & the Net

(Jacob & Becca*)

*Becca is due next month with their first of kin so, naturally, she got the award for "Best use of body"

Best costume of all...

Winner of the People's Choice Award:

Sushi & Soy Sauce

(Trevor & Emi)

As for our own costumes...

Some people figured Steve was William Wallace minus the blue face paint...

Little did they know, however, that he was actually a Scottish gnome!

(hehe...that's not true, but this picture makes me laugh)

And for the Mrs. - we have a little surprise for the person who correctly guesses my identity.

Here's the deal.

The FIRST person who correctly identifies my character AND the context (setting) of that character wins a delicious treat (see below). Hint: If you know the character, the context will be easy. Include your guess in the comment box and we'll let you know if you're the winner. =)

And here is the prize...

Trust us, it's worth a guess. We found these tea cakes in Scotland and can't get enough of them. World Market is nearby and just happens to keep these delectable treats on hand.

Lucky us.

And now, lucky you!

If you live in Columbus, you'll get them right away. If you live in Utah, we'll hire an elf to deliver them to you when we come into town for Christmas. If you live somewhere else, well, we'll hire an owl or something - you'll get your tea cakes though, guaranteed.

So there you have it - beautiful weather, creative costumes, and sweet treats.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
