Halloween 2016

Halloween has always been one of Ryan's favorite holidays.  I blame Breakfast Club at Perdue and him getting to dress up outside of the traditional Halloween festivities but whatever the reason, costumes go over pretty big at our house.

In the past Ryan's always roped his Mom into making us some really cute costumes but this year it just seemed like one more thing nobody really had time to do, so we took the kids to Target and let the run wild.  Hazel picked (with a LOT of help from me) this cute little Llama outfit.  It was warm and snuggly and cute and I think she looked adorable.

Going into the store Abby was CONVINCED she wanted to be something super scary.  Last year she was a dragon (or a dinosaur...I cant remember which she decided she was) and some kid told her she wasn't very scary.  Well, she remembered that a full 365 days later and she was certain she was going to pick the scariest costume they had.  In the end, she picked a Unicorn (hahahaha!).

The kids made quite a haul this year because we actually ended up going Trick or Treating twice.  Our annual beer tasting weekend fell on the Apple Canyon Campground Trick or Treating so we got the kids all dressed up and let them run wild in the campground for a bit.  It was warm, sunny and the perfect fall day for it!

These kids and their faces.  Just wait til you see the one of Abby and I little farther down!

Bhahaha!  I mean, look at those eyes!

Two weeks later the weather had changed quite a bit and and we headed out for another round with some friends up in Crystal Lake.  If you've been to our house since we moved you know we don't have the ideal trick or treating situation (5 acres and a long driveway doesn't really say...come on up and get some candy) so we visited a cute little neighborhood with friends and it was perfect!!  Bethany and Patrick, make a note, we're coming back again next year!!

These two sweet girls have been friends since the day they were born...I hope that never changes!

It's too bad we already had an October family photo because this one would have been perfect.  Funny faces and all!

Oh, and...we even got a chance to do a little adult party the weekend before Halloween.  Ryan and I dressed up in a couples costume "Deer in Headlights".  It was perfect!!!
