"This is Halloween!"

This Halloween holiday we have painted pumpkins, raked leaves, ate roasted pumpkin seeds, made pumpkin chocolate muffins with cinnamon cream cheese frosting (courtesy of my friend Karissa ), danced to Halloween music, decorated the apartment, carved pumpkins, read ghost stories, juiced my own apple cider, trick or treated, made pumpkin smoothies, and ate lots and lots of candy!  I love Halloween. I know some members of the LDS church choose to do something else with their families on this day but really we are celebrating the people who have died. So there is nothing to be ashamed of in celebrating the holiday commercially. Its not evil. Also celebrating holidays makes life more interesting.  Here are some pictures and videos of a few of the above mentioned activities and some other random pictures:
