Hawes WardSaturday, October 30, 2010The Fryer 5ive: Snow White, Harry Potter, Sumo Wrestler, The Wicked Witch of the West and the Scarecrow!

Since our kids wanted nothing to do with dressing up as characters from the Wizard of Oz (yep, they have a mind of their own), we adopted the adorable Jeppsen kids for the night! Love the Jeppsen's Wizard of Oz costumes (great job, Lindsey)! I still feel bad about making little Dorothy (Bella) cry!
Kitty Cat Brooke and Snow White!

The Scarecrow and his Witch! Thanks Jordan and Lisa for letting us borrow your costumes! Hope we made you proud!

Carson and Cayden did the church Spook Alley over and over!

The Hawes Ward Sumo Wrestlers, Carson and Malie! My Dad, Papa Bear, didn't realize that there was another Sumo Wrestler and couldn't figure out why Carson was ignoring him when he would call his name throughout the party! LOL!

Fancy Nancy (Claire) and Snow White! Can you tell Fancy Nancy is scared of me taking her picture?!

The Barbie Princess (Ashlyn) and Snow White!

I'll get you, my pretty!!!

The wannabe Bull Rider (President Crockett) and the mindless Scarecrow!

I haven't got a brain... only straw!!!

The sexiest Scarecrow in all of Oz!!

Kiss me, baby!

The Wicked Witch of the West and my sister, The Wicked Witch of the East!

Do I look scary? If you can't tell, I had fun being wicked!

Nice light up mouse ears, Papa Bear!

Whassup Scarecrow!

Keira with her Primary teachers, Brother and Sister Gardner! Don't know what that white blob is by Brother Gardner's eye! LOL!

Papa Potter and Snow White!

The Princess and her candy! Thanks to Karisa for buying Keira's cute Mickey Mouse candy bucket while we were at Disneyworld!

I'll get you, my pretty ... and your little dog too! My niece, Lexie, dressed as Dorothy! She didn't know what to think of me, but at least she didn't cry!

Snow White and her cousin, Dorothy Gale from Kansas!

I'm melting, melting!!

Snow White just couldn't put the candy down!
Costumes + friends & family + Chili Cookoff + corn bread+ hot dogs+carnival games+spook house+Trunk-or-Treat = One Awesome Halloween Bash! Our family always looks forward to our Hawes Ward Annual Trunk-or-Treat/Chili Cook off! Mark and I had such a fun time doing our makeup and dressing up for the party! It was a first for Mark to dress in costume (he usually just wears a Halloween shirt), but it won't be the last!!! We have decided from here on out that we will dress up as a couple!
I decided to enter the Chili Cookoff for the first time this year and made a darn good batch of Chipotle Chocolate Chili! Yes, I know it sounds weird, but let me tell you that it tasted soooooooo good and so right! Rumor has it that my chili was one of the top 5 chili's of the night! Next year the award is mine! LOL! It was fun to have Papa Bear, my sis, MacKenzie and her boyfriend, Frank, come and party with us! My sis, Abby, brother-in-law, Kelvin and Lexie stopped by after the party! There is definitely not a dull moment when we are all together!
