Halloween 2011

There are really no pictures that will describe our Halloween this year.  Blake & Lacy's new neighborhood closed off their street to car traffic.  They have what I guess you would call a block party of sorts.  It was like nothing I've seen before.  There were TONS of kids ... all dressed up in precious costumes.  I think Blake said they expected around two or three THOUSAND trick-or-treaters.  It was insane ... and so much fun for the kids to experience.  Plus, we got to go trick-or-treating with the fam!  All the houses on their block had tons of spooky decorations & sometimes little booths or tents for the kids to walk through & collect their candy.  It was amazing! 



Miller was a skeleton : )

Mermaid & Batman!




Cade did not end up wearing his Ninja costume to trick-or-treat in.  He decided he didn't like it.  So we told him he could dress-up as a baseball player, a football player or a skate-boarder ... all wardrobe we currently own ; )  He picked the skate-boarder & grabbed his knee pads & a few tattoos, carried his skate-board & was all set!





Not the best pic ever in the dark ... but one of their neighbors was playing a Simpson's Halloween special on a big screen outside.  Too cool!

These scrumptious little pumpkins are from Vivi ... not only were they cute ... they were super  delicious!!  Ethan was calling them the "pumpkin cupcakes".  : )




A week or two before Halloween Sissy & I had a special girls day.  One of the things we did was paint this bowl @ Color Me Mine.  The bat in the center is made from her thumb-print : )




Vivi & Pops got these "haunted houses" for each of the kids to decorate ... they were proudly displayed on our mantle
