Guys and Dolls




The Maple Mountain High School production of Guys and Dolls ended last night. What a great job those kids did!! Heather was a "Doll" and was absolutely adorable up there. I know I am partial, but it is still the truth... It was a grueling rehearsal schedule- 6 days a week for 2-3 weeks. And it did pay off. Those top pictures are not of Heather, obviously, but I never get good pictures at the shows. So I have to show them off a bit. The picture picture on the right is Samae and Nick as Adelaide and Nathan Detroit. They are Tori's friends and she has been in shows with them.

Gingerbread Festival

In Tori's culinary class they made gingerbread houses to enter in the Gingerbread Festival at Thanksgiving Point. It was really fun to see all the houses. Most were kits, but some were quite amazing. Of course, I enjoyed this one the most. I think they did a fabulous job. I sure don't have the patience to do something like this...

Halloween

I enjoy Halloween to a certain extent. I don't like all the movies on T.V. counting down until the day. I also don't like getting all settled and the doorbell keeps ringing. This year I thought, "I'll have Cameron be in charge of handing out candy!" Then I realized that I still wanted to see all the little, and not so little, ghosts and ghouls (and princesses, musketeers, and robots!) So I sat out on the front porch and enjoyed the Halloween parade going around my neighborhood. It was really so much fun that way. I didn't get interrupted!

In the family, Tori dressed up to go to work at the pizza place.


Heather had some friends come over and they went trick-or-treating through the neighborhood and then came back here to watch a great Halloween-y movie, Scared Stiff. Cameron had been on a campout the night before and was pretty much wiped out. So he didn't dress up this year. He did go to a friends for a while, but that was the extent of his Halloween activities.

My two nieces, Alison and Lucy, got into the spirit of the night and dressed up, and when I saw them later they were running from house to house to get their loot.
