The Fall Holidays from 2013

Yes, I know this is also from back in October/November, but it had to be documented. I think my new year resolution is to catch up on blog posts.So, in that case, here are some photos from Halloween and Thanksgiving!

For Halloween, Nick and I really wanted to dress up as someone or something not thought of by anyone else at our Ward Halloween party.......we were aiming for originality, which eventually led us to our Halloween 2013 costume.....Costco Sample Workers with candy samples. The funny thing about our costumes, everyone thought we actually worked at Costco (not sure why anyone would dress up as their day job) but we liked to think they thought so because our costumes were that awesome! I taped a Costco logo, printed on computer paper, to a baseball cap. We taped our Costco cards to magnetic name tags we already had, and with the red aprons, first aid gloves, white polo shirts, and shoe boxes wrapped up in plaid vinyl.....wah-lah..... Costco sample worker! We loved it!

At our ward trunk or treat!

For Thanksgiving, it was my family's turn to spend the holiday with them! So once Nick was done with classes for the week, we drove up to Twin Falls, Idaho, the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving! My brother Shawn and his family were already up there to spend Thanksgiving with Nick, me, and my parents.

The 2013 Leavitt Family Thanksgiving Menu (and everything from scratch, I must add....we're pretty awesome):
-Shrimp cocktail for appetizer (Nick had jello)
-Homemade rolls
-Green beans
-Dixie Fruit Salad
-Yams
-Cornbread stuffing made from my mom's homemade cornbread
-Turkey
-Mashed potatoes with gravy
-Cranberry relish
-Candy carrots
-Lemon meringue Pie
-Pumpkin Pie
-Chocolate Cream Pie (family favorite)

It was wonderful!!!!

My mom gets the girls new aprons every year!
