...And They Talked Us Into It.

We had two Halloween celebrations this year.  Our church had a party the Sunday before Halloween.  The girls were excited to get all dressed up this year.

 

They have made great friends with the neighbor boy, Jackson.  He came along for the party.

Kevin was thrilled to see the Monster High Grizzly Cheerleader.

Kendall was definitely more into the older games as opposed to the carnival games this year.

I love a good piñata.  These kids get really into it.  We had to hold the line to make sure none of the kids got nailed with the piñata stick.  Here is Sid taking a swing.

It was mass chaos once the piñata broke (truth be told Nate broke it open to prevent injury from swinging kids).

As we were watching the kids scoop up the candy, we saw this sweet moment with Sidney.  She picked up some candy and made sure this little toddler had a few pieces.

Kendall joined the older kids for piñata number two this year. 

We were so excited to have my sister and Hallie come down for the weekend of Halloween.  Hallie and the girls talked my sister and I into dressing up as Elsa and Anna.  I must admit, we had a great time.  There were several haunted houses in our neighborhood.  Then we took a cruise to some friends houses for trick or treating. 

If I was going to have to dress up, there was no way Kevin was getting out of it.  He made a great Zeus!  Here he is with the girls.  Gotta love the pout on Sidney's face, "Is it time to go trick or treating yet?"  Enough of the pictures already.

After she realized the picture pain and suffering would go on for a few more minutes, she decided to join the fun.

Steph and Hallie. 

A serious family picture.

Then it was time to get the wiggles out.

 

One quick story before I go.  Whenever I go out of town for work trips, Kevin lets the girls camp out in our room.  Last week while I was away on a trip, he woke up to Sidney staring at him.  She had obviously been up for quite some time, patiently waiting for him to open his eyes.  The second his eyes were open, she did not say "good morning" or "how did you sleep".  She was poised with a question, "What is a pirates favorite letter?"  Give up?  "Rrrrr".
