Whew. Halloween is over. Hallelujah! Ha. Don't get me wrong, we love Halloween... it was just an especially busy one! 3 parties... drama and hours spent shopping for just the right costume (in years past my kiddos haven't been too picky!)... sewing and blinging out accessories... etc! But! Hurray- it was all so much fun and the kids loved every second. Super pleased with their costumes and had a blast. Family has been asking for pics so here are a few... ok too many but anyhow?!?
Fall Festival at the kiddos school- lots of fun! A carnival and auction to raise money for the school. We won the Lego Basket- Colby was ecstatic!
Fun with friends! Kylie and Abagail with Sydney! People kept doing a double take before realizing it was Sydney- that brunette hair! She looked so great though as Leia.
Well Allie has pizza on her face but we had a fab time at the Bennett twins 2 year old party- themed Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! Lissy and Mom would be so proud- I sewed the apron for her tutu and it turned out so cute! I made her bow for her ears too... I might just take up sewing one of these days?!? ;-)
The ward party! Lovin the Star Wars Theme... Anakin Skywalker, Princess Leia, Padame, and Luke Skywalker.... then of course a princess and Minnie Mouse too!
Every year the party is held at the Judy's field- always lots of fun. It was a beautiful night and Allie loved chillin with Ger most the party... and not smiling for the camera. Oh well.
Susie's Padame costume is incredible- you can't even see the boots or belt very well but it is so fun to wear. Had a great time chasing around the kiddos!
Hooked up with JJ there... The highlight for the kids was probably the trunk or treat!
Phew. Onto last night! Trick or treating! We had a fabulous outdoor dinner at the LeSueurs... which I somehow managed to not take any pics at... and then headed out with George and Susie and some friends in our neighborhood! Allie switched it up to be a Halloween Fairy of sorts?!?
The girlies just love Brescia- she made a fantastic Rodeo Clown.
JJ and Colby and the rest of the kiddos literally RAN house to house. Laughing, giggling, and yelling, MERRY CHRISTMAS! Ha. Totally silly of them. Finally at one house the man said, Well I must be Santa then! Ho ho ho! The kids all got a laugh out of that.
Allie was so funny. We went to a few houses with her and then thought she would be fine to not go to any more houses... She would not have any of that. She literally jumped out of our arms to run up to the door with the kids! "More" is what she would say, since she couldn't say Trick or Treat! And yes, she insisted on carrying her own bag and walking some of the time! Oh dear... we had a lot of patience for her because she was so stinkin cute and happy! She did manage to open every sucker she got- 8 to be exact- and take one lick and stick it back in her bag. Yum!
Yes! We made it to the end of the night happy! All the kids were super great the whole time- no whining, complaining, arguing... it was so great. Getting them to stop eating their candy and go to bed was a whole different story!!! ha. But we hope each of you had a wonderful Halloween too!
