Happy Halloween!

The Young Women were in charge of the ward Halloween party this year, and they asked me to create a photo backdrop - with a budget of $15. Thanks to Martha Stewart I was able to come up with some ideas using paper. My friend Jaclyn was a life saver as we spent several hours folding, cutting, gluing and drawing. Nick found a great tree branch outside we used to hang some paper lanterns.
Here's a shot of the backdrop. I haven't seen the pictures they took of us in front of it yet. Hopefully it turned out okay. The rest of the decorations were really cute. The leaders did a great job of transforming the gym.
I especially liked the way they placed crows above these lights!

Last year we learned that in our ward, most of the people dress up, grown-ups included. So, we decided to finally join in the fun. We went as Peter Pan and Wendy.
We can fly!
