It was Homecoming weekend at Oklahoma State last week. Now for those of you who are not familiar with the happenings of OSU, homecoming is a big deal. It is a week long celebration, culminating with the OSU football game. On Friday night they have what is called the Walk Around. The Walk Around is a parade in a sense, but instead of the floats passing by, the floats are stationary and the visitors walk around looking at them. Each sorority and fraternity are responsible for creating one of these decorations.
Jon and I did not know what to expect, but they were really cool. They looked like carpets but they were made with tissue paper, and many of them had moving parts.
We had a lot of fun, but as you can see from the pictures, there was quite the crowd. In years past, more than 70,000 turned out.
Jon and I had not really planned on doing anything for Halloween this year, but when we found out that our ward was having a Trunk o' treat party, we decided we should dress up. But what to dress up as? We thought perhaps that we could re-use our awesome Adam and Eve costumes, and turn Abby into a little Apple or snake to accompany us, but we were not sure how our new ward might react to this. As we consided other options we came up with the idea to be James and Lilly Potter and of course baby Harry. It was a last minute costume, but I think it worked out just fine. Jon made the perfect James.

No plug and socket? Ah too bad. Maybe next year! Abby looks ticked that you made her go as a boy. JK. Love the idea, you guys look great. Where in the world did Jon score those rad glasses? It totally reminds me of Jon circa 1991 when he begged and begged for glasses so he could fit in with the rest of the fam!
Your costumes turned out pretty great! Abby is adorable as baby Harry. I love the homecoming photos of first Jon in the cowboy, then Becca's, and then of course Abby! It made me laugh! Aren't you glad to be back in football country where Homecoming means something!!!
You guys look great. Jon makes a very handsome James.
You guys are the cutest Potter family. Those floats are a little ridiculous but so fun! I'm glad your having fun in Oklahoma, we miss you!
