Halloween

Happy Halloween!!
As you all know Halloween is a big deal at our house. We get to celebrate 2 birthdays right before which makes it a non-stop party at our house starting a week before All Hallow's Eve. Since Halloween landed on a Sunday this year we enjoyed twice the trick or treating fun with Trunk or Treating at the church Saturday night, followed up by traditional door knocking Sunday night. Although sad to say we didn't have the zeal Sunday night we had the night before, so costumes were half done and makeup barely on but we still ventured out, eager to fill our bags even more! This year Andrew dressed up as a "Greedy Kid".
Samantha was a Cowgirl and then Sunday night she was so pretty with her hair curled and done for church that we glittered her and she went out as a "Model Cowgirl"...whatever that is. We figured it's a gorgeous girl who models cowgirl clothes. Or perhaps a beautiful gal who also rounds up cattle, either way don't we all wish we could still feel as carefree and beautiful as we did when we were children :).
Braeden was a Zombie with a nicely slit throat.
Westin was Darth Vader but wore the mask for like 5 whole minutes.
Gabe was a skeleton baby and made out like a bandit. He walked to the doors, opened his own bag, attempted to say "Trick or Treat", but said, "Thank you," clearly enough that people cooed and loaded him up with treats.
Mommy and Daddy were outlaws.

I actually dubbed us the "Make-Out Bandits" cuz I couldn't keep my hands off of Chad. My kids were almost as embarrassed by that as the time we danced in public, but other kids at the Trunk or Treating thought the "Make Out Bandits" was hilarious ;)






Here we are in the car heading to the Trunk or Treating at the church.





Samantha is a tall girl but looks even taller because of my boots she's wearing. She can wear my shoes now. She just turned 12 and is a young lady, and my best girl friend and a diva....she is soooo fun! Westin posed in all the pictures with his light saber and showing off his moves, all the pictures he took very seriously :)
Hope you all had a safe and fabulous holiday!!!
