Autumn in Cache Valley

It's been a busy and fun fall so far. Here are a few pictures:

We always love to go to the Pumpkin Walk held in the neighboring town of North Logan. The boys were thrilled to see that there were some Star Wars displays this year:


Tessa liked the princess cutouts.


We always carve our pumpkins on the Monday night before Halloween for Family Home Evening. This year we grew some big, big pumpkins in our garden and they turned out great (the pumpkins, not the picture):


A few weekends ago I attended a Super Saturday at church. I made a Family Home Evening Game for us to play (unfortunately we've had to shelve it because although the kids love playing it, Tessa gets hysterical when she doesn't win) and a nativity set for the Christmas season. I also learned how to decorate Halloween cupcakes:


And yes, I did all of those, even the werewolf. Try and pick yourself up off the floor; it wasn't as hard as it looks.

And finally, this was the scene outside our house today.


Yep, it isn't October unless we've had the first snowfall of the year. The snow looks lovely with the twinkling Halloween lights, don't you think? Thank goodness it will melt in a day or two. Halloween isn't as fun if you have to pick your way through the snowdrifts while trick or treating.

Oh my goodness Rhonda-what a great effort with the cupcakes. I AM impressed.
I see it is snowing over your way again? how lovely it looks. Overcast and wet in Brissy today - even that is a novelty here at the moment. It is 5 months since we have had rain. Look forward to hearing that Tessa has started ballet classes. Can't waste a good tutu like that one. Love BevnMax XX
