BOO!

So I'm finally posting some Halloween pics. Better late than never right? Crew was a vampire along with Bill... you could call them "Edward" for those of you Twilight fans. :) Blake was a buccaneer pirate, Emma a very cute witch, Ashlyn was the perfect "Alice in Wonderland" and I was the Queen of Hearts (OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!). Thanks to my great neighbor, Rebecca, who supplied most of our costumes! She has quite the costume set up at her house. However, I did make Crew's cute vampire costume! It took me all day on Halloween, but it was pretty good I must admit.

The great thing about trick-or-treating in our neighborhood is all the kids. We get together with some of the neighborhood families and all go treating together. The women all go together with the kids while the men stay at home to pass out the treats and watch whatever sporting event is on tv. Good times for everyone!!

Before we go out with our friends we make our yearly stop at Grandma Teresa's cul de sac (however you spell that) for a yummy pot luck with all of her neighbors and their families. It's always fun to see the kids I grew up and went trick or treating with and seeing their cute kids all dressed up the way we used to (or still do for some of us).

This year we got a special visit from Grandma and Grandpa Thompson. They live in the area, but with everything going on at Halloween we don't usually see them until the Sunday after Halloween where we get all dressed up again so they can see the kiddos in costume. Instead, this year they came trick or treating to all the grandkids at each of their houses! Our kids loved having them over to share their candy and show off their costumes.

It was a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
