Halloween

This year we were invited to a Halloween party, and our friends did not disappoint with all the decor, food, and games.  I just love this holiday!  Every year I want to do really cool costumes, but then it always ends up being last minute and whatever we can put together.  Fortunately for us, we had friends who had Batman and cat costumes from the previous year, so we just borrowed those! James really should've had spandex, etc., but it worked.  At least he had his game face on. 

Fun appetizers

Then for actual Halloween, we took the kids to our church's "Trunk or Treat".  Hazel has been wanting to be a princess, so Cinderella it was!  This was the first time Hazel has ever allowed me to put her hair in a high bun or ponytail, so it was a big deal.  And then I just couldn't resist... Grayson had to be Gus Gus.  I only wish I would've remembered to put his nose on!  Still, they were adorable.

 

This was the best full shot I could get of Cinderella because she only wanted to pose with the family of superheroes nearby. ???
 And then us... James had 5 minutes between work and Trunk or Treat, so he ran upstairs and came down like this.  I decided to be a good sport and put on my go-to 70s shirt as well.  I don't think people even noticed my costume... I mean, how could you when your husband is wearing those pants?
Then we got about 5 trick or treaters and like that, Halloween was over.  We'll see how long the candy bag lasts!
