Halloween 2015

What a fabulous Halloween we had!  There was so much excitement leading up to it... including our annual pumpkin carving.  The kids were allowed to do it all on their own.  Paige pretty much did the entire thing herself.  Molly was into the designing and carving... but had someone else clean her pumpkin out.  Garrett cleaned his entire pumpkin out himself, but wanted help with the design and carving.

Here's the finished masterpieces.

We even got Hawk into the festive spirit.  He didn't mind the Halloween bandana, but was way less excited about the Chewbacca costume.  He has now been dubbed "Chewhawka the Woofie".

The kids each picked out their own costumed and I completely relinquished control (which is always hard for me).  Molly was Elsa from Frozen to match with her BFF who was dressing up as Anna from Frozen.

Paige was a pop star. We saw her costume at Costco and she was immediately sucked in by leopard print, hot pink and sparkly sequins.

Garrett was Obi-Wan Kenobi.  It was a perfect match to Hawk's costume and I was amazed that I actually got a photo of the two of them together!

And here's the three of them... completely in character!

That evening we went to our neighbor's home for a party before we headed out for trick-or-treating.  We enjoyed some awesome Halloween food, and I even got my costume out of the closet for the occasion.

Then we headed out with the herd of children to go get candy.  The kids did great, although the little ones faded pretty fast.  Molly and her friend's little sister were a matching pair of Elsa's and Molly took her under her wing the entire evening.  It was pretty adorable!

All in all... it was a fabulous day!  So much fun!
