halloween parties

Jason and I had a few Halloween parties this weekend. We had to rack our brains to come up with some costumes. We're not that creative. Seriously.

Some of Jason's coworkers had a party, and we went as Islanders. This was the best that we could do for that costume.Then we had a ward party, which was super fun. We went as a mobster from the 1920s and a flapper. Here's what we came up for that. Not too bad. Now we just need to come up with another costume for Halloween day. One more to go.

spudnuts at the Pollards

Definition. Spudnuts = yummy doughnuts made with a little bit of potato

Misson complete. I sucessfully made spudnuts by myself for the first time. Yumm! They weren't as good as Mom's (what is, really?), but I will still call this a success. It was a L-O-N-G baking day and I don't want to even think about making more until next year. It wore me right out! I figure the whole process took almost 7 hours. Good grief! Thank goodness Jason was there to help me. Didn't they turn out looking good??

Although it was an exhausting day, I sure enjoy this tradition. Thanks to everyone who helped us eat them up!

a wedding

We had another wedding in the Pollard family and everyone was so excited to see Jason's sister get married. It was such a beautiful ceremony and we were happy to be part of their day. Congrats to both of them! Here are a few pictures of the wedding.

This is a picture of Jason, me, and our sisters waiting outside the temple. It was so cold, but it was a wonderful day.The bride and groom. So cute!Jason with the bride at the reception. We sure love that girl to pieces, and Jason was particularly excited and happy for his little sister.The cake. Our cousins made this gorgeous cake. Seriously, it was beautiful. Just wanted to share and show off their work.
