We can fly!

We've been a wee bit excited about Halloween at our house. That is an understatement.

The day arrived. And it was everything we hoped for and more. Gosh, trick-or-treat-ing with kids is so much fun. They were super excited, very talkative with people, way into everyone's decorations, and insistant that we call them Peter Pan and Tinker Bell rather than their real names.

My parents showed up just in time for dinner and trick-or-treating. We loved having them with us! My mom was awesome about taking pictures.

So without further ado...


The stars of the day! Meet Peter Pan and Tinker Bell. Note the awesome sword Jeremy made Raymond. Note the awesome costumes made by me! 

She was precious. Beyond measure. And her bag matches. The OCD in me loved that.





 As a family. I was Nana (the dog). Jeremy was Mr. Darling. Ginny was tired of pictures.


Rex was Smee. Mostly he just hung out in the stroller pushed by Grandpa. He was super alert in the beginning. Love that sweet little face.  



They were so super cute at all the doors. Raymond just wanted to talk and talk and talk to everyone. Ginny just kept reaching in for more candy. Cracked me up. 


The loot. They were exhausted (and both dead asleep within 15 minutes of this picture) but so so happy.

It really was just SO SO fun. Magical, in fact. Halloween just skyrocked in my list of awesome holidays.

ADORABLE! Those costumes are the most fabulous things EVER! And the fact that they wanted to be called "Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle" is the cutest things EVER. Oh, I love your kids. I am glad Mom and Dad got to be with you. I am sure they loved getting to see them all dressed up and loving the trick or treating too. I agree...Halloween for a kid is magical. I think that is why I really do love it. Make believe is so much fun with kids. I love that all three of my boys have loved to make believe and dress up. Oh, Happiness Carly Jane. I just love seeing all these fun pictures!!

I agree, Halloween is magical when you do it as a family. My favorite years are the ones when we all dress up in a theme or the same. All the costumes turned out amazing. :) Kudos!
