Yoda Shaef Is!

This year for Halloween - we had a tight budget so Anson and I used our usual costumes and we got Shaef a cheap Yoda costume at a consignment sale. We decided our theme was "characters from movies". Shaef was Yoda from Star Wars, Anson was Aragorn (sp.) from Lord of the Rings, and I was Dorthy from Wizard of Oz. If you can't tell from the below picture - Anson is pretty stoked about Yoda!
The green face paint may not have been the best idea but it was fun while it lasted...:) And it was a pain to clean off his "Hand Wash Only" costume...
Our Halloween Festivities started with our Fall Festival at our Church. There was a chili contest and a pie contest so the food was awesome! In the past it has been a huge deal to win 1st prize for the best chili or 1st price for the best pie. I made Pumpkin Cheesecake - and it was good enough to win 1st prize in the pie contest! (If you want to try my prize winning cheesecake, come visit us and I will make it for you!)
We were so lucky to have some special guests come visit us and go to our ward party with us. Our friends the Larsens came up from Orlando and brought a beautiful peacock and an adorable witch!

My friend Kacey was awesome and took Shaef around in the Costume Parade!

More Friends!
I wanted him to get used to the Yoda hat so I put it on him and he loved it! He wore it all around! He loves to take his friend Tigger for rides on the fire truck.

For playgroup this week, Polly planned a Halloween Costume Party. Here are all the little monsters!
Shaef and his friends Ty and Jonah.
More friends: Jackson, Brooklyn, Shaef and other Jackson!
For dinner group this week we had a Halloween Bash with Homemade Rootbeer. Shaefer loved trying to stick his face in the mist!
Shaef loves his pumpkin - he just loves to sit and hold it! It is just his size! He is also learning that you say "Cheese" for the camera - but that doesn't mean you look or really smile!
We have one more party tonight and Trick or Treating at the mall tomorrow...and then our Costumes will be put up until next year!
