Trick Or Treat

 Halloween was so much fun this year! Lucy is getting old enough to enjoy all of the excitement and magic of the holidays. On Monday evening, we played the Halloween Safety game for Family Home Evening. This lesson is a tradition carried over from when Angela was growing up. Lucy had fun rolling the dice.  For our activity, we carved a pumpkin and roasted pumpkin seeds.

 Lucy didn't want to touch the slimy pumpkin guts. "Daddy, hold!"

 Our jack-o-lantern. Lucy got a little scared of it.

Lucy was so excited to dress up as "MeeMee Mouse." She didn't even complain about wearing the ears!

 On Saturday, we went to our ward Halloween party. We saw lots of our friends. Lucy really likes her friends Avy and Brooklyn. She loves to play with the big girls.

Lucy and Angela did the cake walk, and Lucy won chocolate cupcakes.

 Lucy is enjoying her prize.

 Lucy liked the bean bag toss.

 Lucy wanted her face painted. She asked for a pink fish.

After Allison painted Lucy's face, Lucy grabbed a face paint crayon and started applying her own makeup. "Pitty" (pretty) she said.

 Daddy helped Lucy putt the golf ball.

 The highlight of the evening was Trunk or Treating. Lucy got so excited people were just handing out candy. She would get distracted trying to open up the most recent addition to her bucket, but once she realized that she would get more, there was no stopping her. She enjoyed a tootsie roll from her stash.

 Look at all of this candy!

Happy Halloween

Halloween brought lots of treats for the Winterton family. Lucy was adorable in her witch costume. She wasn't too keen on keeping her hat on, but we managed to get a few pictures before she ripped it off of her head.

On Friday, we went to our ward Halloween party.

Jay dressed up as a BYU Cougar fan, and Angela dressed up as a Skyline graduate. One of the ward missionaries went to Skyline. He instantly recognized the sky blue gown. It was pretty funny!

At the ward party, Lucy found some friends. Three little girls tried to crawl around on the floor with her, but they kept getting in Lucy's way. Finally, Lucy swatted one of the girls away. It was pretty funny.


On Saturday morning, Angela made pumpkin pancakes. While she was cooking breakfast, Lucy climbed into the cupboard. She is wearing the Halloween jammies Grandpa Todd gave her.

Halloween night! Lucy loved every second of Trick-O-Treating! She smiled, squealed, and kicked her legs with excitement. We hit a few houses in the neighborhood and got just enough candy to satisfy mommy and daddy's sweet tooth. Maybe not Lucy's though.


Check out this video of Lucy Trick-O-Treating.



This is a picture of Lucy in the Halloween dress that Grandma Leisa made for her. She looked adorable in it!

Halloween 2009 was a smashing success!

Mom, Trick or Treat?

This morning, I was busy making Jello for our ward Halloween party. Lucy was in the kitchen with me, playing in the drawers. I purposely filled the bottom two drawers in our kitchen with things that Lucy could safely play with. The other day, I decided to put some chocolate in one of the drawers...BIG MISTAKE! When I turned around to check on her, Lucy had found my Halloween Lindt Truffle, unwrapped it, and was happily devouring it. She was too cute to be mad at.

Lucy tried to escape from the tiled kitchen to the carpet. Mom wouldn't let her, and she was quite upset.

1st Birthday -- with Halloween Feel

One more of our adorable nephews turned 1 year old! Cherie did such a great job on the cake even if all the little guy did was eat the spider's eyes. We all got a big kick out of it. He kept touching the chocolate sprinkles on the top of the cake and quickly moving his hand away, turning his head, all in showing us that he was not comfortable with digging in. It just didn't feel right texture-wise we guess. Good job anyways Cherie! Angela and I both thought it was a masterpiece.


You can see that the monkey was able to celebrate his birthday with cousins on his dad's side of the family. All of their costumes were so cute and creative.

It's The Great Pumpkin Angela Brown/Winterton!

We all had a wonderful Halloween this year. Even baby got dressed up! Actually, more impressive is that JAY even got dressed up this year. Can you guess what we are??

Did you guess Bed Bugs? No? Okay... well, I suppose you may have guessed Cuddle Bugs or maybe even Love Bugs. Any of those we would have said "Yeah, you got it" too.



Angela made this fabulous cake and felt like it was kind of a decorating disaster. She just didn't have the appropriate decorating stuff I guess. But we did have Toblerone chocolate pieces for the eyes, and we both agree --it was dang tasty. Funfetti cake is our favorite!!!
