Halloween started this year with Jenn making chili using her dad’s hellfire-hot recipe. She was telling me about his spicy chili, and I was very interested (as was my brother), so she decided to make it for the Halloween soup and chili gathering my family does every year.
At first, she was afraid of it being too hot and didn’t use as much of the ingredients as she should have. But when we tasted it and it wasn’t spicy enough, Jenn started to tweak it and added more and more. In the end, it tasted like... what I think eternal damnation would taste like. And I gladly went back for more. In fact, I ended up eating most of it. I’ve heard that Steve’s chili is incredibly hot, and I would be curious to find out if this chili was as hot as his, or hotter. But it was really good, and everyone who tried it liked it.
Creative little Jenn also made a warning sign to put next to the chili. She used picture of Donald and Daisy Duck and re-drew it, turning Daisy into a witch and giving Donald a spoon and chili pepper. She also attached a bio-hazardous waste symbol to the crock pot.
We’ve already posted pictures of me in my costume. I wore my dad’s pants and tie. Jenn dug some stuff out of the garage, but some of it came right out of the closet. My costume was pieced together with items from others. Jenn used her own stuff. Her shirt, her skirt, her glasses, her books about rocks, and her purse, which she filled with some of her rock collection to show off. She’s a geek and I love her!
As you can see, McKenna came dressed as a nerd as well. And here’s a compilation of everyone who dressed up. (In case you’re wondering, Shane was a BYU fan and Trevor was... a nearly 17 year old - Happy Birthday, Trevor!)
We went trick-or-treating with the nieces and nephews around my parents’ neighborhood. The best moment was when we went to one house (a non-member’s) and from the porch Brady shouted, “it smells like smoke and beer!” Thankfully, no one came to the door, and we all wondered how Brady knew what beer smells like.
So that was our Halloween.

How cute! What a clever idea, although I wouldn't have looked at Jenn and said, "geek or nerd". I love that skirt. Ok, the shirt matched in color, but not in style. The picture with your neice was more nerdy. The look and suspenders. LOL!
Adam, that outfit absolutely rocks!!!!! Your face just isn't a nerdy face though. Too handsome!
Oh well, you can be the handsome nerd.
I'm glad the chili was good. It sounded pretty .....strange that you wanted seconds of eternal damnation, but to each his own. LOL.
Glad everyone had fun! XOXOXOX
