Halloween 2011

We had a great Halloween. I loved the kids costumes this year. We had many festivities for the family. First we had our ward Trunk or Treat. This was the only time Luke and I dressed up together. I love dressing up with Luke. Even though he gives me a hard time every year. Nichols really wanted to be a Steelers football player. I thought it would be awesome to dress him up as Troy Polamalu and put a bunch of black yarn under his helmet so he can his awesome hair. We didn't find any Steelers costumes that were in our budget. We did find a Cowboys one and that was fine. He looks like the real thing, don't ya think?

Sammy wanted to be Cinderella. I was at Ross one day and decided to just look at their costumes. It was my lucky day because they had an adorable Cinderella costume for super cheap. Look at how cute she looks. She is a natural.

Parker's costume was a little harder to find. He didn't have anything in mind. So we searched the stores and he found this awesome one. I loved it! He played the part pretty well. He was so obsessed with his black eye. He kept asking me every 30 seconds if his black eye was still on. Don't mess with him.

Noah was a spider. This was a hand me down from Nick and Parker. It's warm and cute. He loved it and loved trying to play the part. Cutest spider ever! In the 2nd picture I told him to act like a spider. I love how accurate he got it.

Luke and I were high school sweethearts back in the fifties. He was the star quarterback and of course I was the head cheerleader. It's seriously just like real life! I really wanted to Luke to dress like Danny Zuko from Grease. We compromised with a football player. I do have to say he looked mighty fine.

Then Halloween night finally came and Luke and the 2 older boys came down like this. Really? I went through all the trouble of finding costumes and this is what you are on the real night. Remind me next year to not buy any costumes at all! They did look cute though.

Sammy kept her Cinderella costume on and rode around like this. I loved seeing her riding around in her dress.
 
Then of course Noah had to do it too.
 
My parents came by to see the kids and go around to a couple houses. It's a fun little tradition.
 
At the end of the night we lost Nick to his friends. I am not ready for that to start. Luke brought the kids back looking like this. Tired and too much candy!
 
Noah was so into his candy. Like really possessive. See?

 
 And this is what happens when we take it away for the night.... Happy Halloween!!
