We thought Halloween was going to be freezing cold this year (I think the forecast said 16 degrees or something--Brrr!) but it ended up not too bad. Still, I encouraged everyone to choose out the warmer things from the costume box. Junie was a bear and Daisy was an elephant—
THIS elephant, to be precise.
Goldie was a winter princess.
Ziggy was dressed by his sisters in multiple costumes over multiple days, but the one I got a picture of was this bear suit. His fur feet got quite dirty! But he only went trick-or-treating around the block, so it was fine.
(Here he saw a truck driving by)
Teddy was a UPS man.
Our neighborhood is so fun on Halloween. It's made me like the holiday much more than I otherwise would. There are SO MANY KIDS! Tons of people drive in from other places, so I don't recognize most of them, but it's still fun to look outside and see crowds of kids and parents walking around. It makes it feel so festive! Some people make huge elaborate Halloween scenes in their yards, or haunted houses that the kids can go through. There's a map on facebook of all the different special things to drive around and see. And there are lots of fun things people do like giving out homemade scones or hot chocolate or See's Candies.
Oh—Malachi was dressed up too (his last year going trick-or-treating!). But I didn't get a picture. He wore the same Darth Vadar costume as last year.
