White House Halloween

About 40 families from my kid's school were invited to the White House fro trick-or-treating. The Obama's were handing out the following in a cellophane bag. For the record, the box in the middle contains m&m's-not cigarettes. The weird looking things are an assortment of dried fruit. Bless whoever came up w/ this for trying to be healthy, but I can't imagine a lot of kids actually eating the fruit.
Here's what the President is handing out this year.



Here's us waiting in line for over and hour. The First Family actually gave out candy from 5:00-7:00. We entered the gates at a 7:01. Heartbreaker. Our tickets said 6:15, but they would have let us get in line earlier. I so wish we would have known. We all got tons of attention from tourists. People kept asking to take our picture. I think Scott's costume was the biggest hit.





This is us at the Church Party. Scott's was made out of gold table cloths, but no one knew who he was. Below is his 2.0 costume and I think it turned out fabulous if I do say so myself. We couldn't agree about the eyebrows. But in the end, I liked them, so they stayed.







My eternal flame. Oh La La

  1. I think you did an awesome job on the costumes, especially revising Scott's in one day! You are amazing!
    Cool that you guys got to go there, especially since you will be moving soon, I'm hoping that our chance might come in the next few years :)

  3. We should have had a costume contest at the ward party. Between Scotts costume and Aaron Smith's it would have been pretty hard to pick a winner. Scott makes such a great candlestick and Aaron a great hick!
