Halloween at Aunt Mary Jane's

Halloween at Aunt Mary Jane's is becoming one of my favorite events of the year.

Every year, nearly the entire Zarbock Family, from Grandparents on down all show up in costume for a Halloween party at Mary Jane & Lynn Despain's house in Sandy.

This year did not disappoint. As always, dinner was wonderful and the games and activities were top notch.

I've highlighted several of the costumes below...photos don't do many of them justice because some had music and actions to go along with the outfits.








Uncle John and Aunt Kathy came as Utah fans, because they wanted to be "winners" too. Kathy made a batch of red cookies to honor the Utes.


Janet and family were a circus train, and Eric was a clown - kind of a scary clown, Dawson and Carson were afraid of him :)




The Murri's were the cast of Peter Pan...I just loved Sierra's costume.




The Despains were quite creative too this year. Jake makes a great lolipop to Ann's candy corn, don't you think?


My family went with the Star Wars theme this year. Note that there are 3 princess Lea's, and that I had to play Darth Mahl. Mom put dried out cinnimon rolls on her head and the bottom half of Mikie's costume may have been the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz last year..i'm just saying...









The little powdered gem donuts on a string game is always fun, especially when the big boys turn into little boys. When Zak didn't get his donut eaten first, he added the "first one to whistle after eating their donut" criteria to the game...






Thanks again to the Despain's for throwing a stellar party yet again this year!
