We had such a great Halloween this year! Seriously, I love this holiday and this time of year. The weather was gorgeous (77 degrees) and our day couldn't have been more fun or festive.
So here are the kids in their costumes...all ready to party.
Emily dressed up as Hermione...
(note: when Emily told me that she wanted to be Hermione for Halloween this year I was totally surprised. I am actually a huge Harry Potter fan, but I didn't know she was too. She hasn't read any of the books (not yet at least...I think they are a little too scary for her still) and she has only seen the first movie. But upon reflection I decided Hermione would be just perfect for her. I have had the opportunity to observe Emily during school, during primary, and during FHE and she is totally one of those kids who raises her hand for every question and usually has her hand up before the teacher has even finished asking. She's funny like that. So Hermione stuck. :) )
Justin was Cowboy Woody...
(after two years as Buzz he was ready to move on, but not too far. :) )
And my sweet little Eden was Minnie Mouse.
(she had no say in the matter. :) )
I just wanted to mention here that we borrowed all of our costumes this year (and lent out a couple of ours as well.) :) It was totally a great way to go...it was so nice not to have to spend the money! I want to say thank you so, so much to Cortni, Cheryl, and Lisa for being so nice and lending us your awesome stuff!
Cutest. Mouse. Ever.
Finally time for Trick-or-Treating...(actually Trunk-or-Treating.)
Trick-or-Treating was SO much fun this year because it was Eden's first time ever. She was so funny...

My parents drove out to go trick-or-treating with us which was so nice of them and so fun for the kids!

What cute costumes!
They all look so cute! We had a trunk or treat too, aren't they great? Our kids love it and get so much candy. I love that Emily was Hermoine. Awesome! Mitchell is sitting on my lap right now and is totally impressed with Justin's costume. :)
I had a really hard time with Halloween this year. I am the grinch of Halloween. Not a fan of trunk or treating. But I will get over it. Next year we will try to decorate and taht will help bring in the spirit.
Such cute costumes!! Love the idea of trading them around. They're so expensive that you need to have it worn more than once. How fun to have your parents with you! Cute family pic and cute pics of the kids! I love the Hermione idea!
Your kids look darling!
Happy Halloween! Cute post! I love little ones who just hold the one piece of candy and want to eat it right then! So funny :)
Seriously SO CUTE!!! They all look great!
Cute, cute, cute!
I am jealous of two things, your beautiful warm weather on Halloween and that you borrowed all your costumes.
Great pictures--the kids and costumes are adorable.
Cutest kids...really.
Hey,
I'm trying to send you an email right now and it keeps coming back as undeliverable. (I'm just replying to yours so I know it's not a typo.)
Do you know what's up?
Now I wish we would have come to trunk-or-treat just to get a picture of Carter and Justin as buzz & Woody!
darling costumes! The kiddos look great. I love trick or treating especially when it is a little ones first time. Lexi got into it this year as well.
Your kids looks so cute in those costumes. And I love your commentary about Eden just staring at the candy. :)
glad we could help with the costumes! :)
