This year for Halloween Eric decorated the house around a carnival theme. Halloween was on Sunday so we got to celebrate both Saturday and Sunday! We celebrated on Saturday for those who have their Sabbath on Sunday, and on Sunday for those who worship on Saturday or otherwise. Unfortunately we didn’t get many pictures, because I was up at the regional cross country meet with Tanner and the Union High School Cross Country team, and Eric was too BUSY with his plans to stop and take pictures. I am glad McKenna had the chance to go trick or treating at Gpa Tippett’s work on Friday or we wouldn’t even have this picture.

Eric had lots of help to pull off his carnival. Luckily, Lani (Eric’s Mom) was around to help him and get McKenna in her costume to go trick or treating with her friends. Eric also got Austin and a group of his friends to help out, with the promise of pizza and a party following the main rush of trick-or-treaters. The house was decorated as a fun house. There was eerie carnival music playing and flashing lights all over the place. Each of our garage bays had a “trick” (carnival game) the kids had to play before they got their “treat.” We also had a big popcorn machine set up that Lani manned to provide everyone with popcorn as they came by. According to Eric this was a low-key year. Because of the multiple days of celebrating, he needed the ability to shut things down and open them up the next day without a lot of work in between. There was so much more he wanted to do. He has already begun planning next year. A little sneak peak: Thriller. I’ll let you imagine what he is going to do with that, but here is a hint: it does involve a dance group. He is already taking volunteers. If you are interested, contact him directly.
