More Halloween...

 Julia looked awesome on Halloween.

She came up with the costume idea on her own, picked up everything and put it all together!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Emily who did her make up, took the photos and supported her at the Halloween Parade at school. She is an amazing big sister!

The weather was absolutely perfect! 

School parties, the ward trunk or treat and trick or treating yielded a huge stash of candy partially pictured above.

This awesome group of neighborhood kids and friends came back to our house for hot chocolate and a candy exchange. It was so fun and entertaining to listen to them barter and exchange candy!

Halloween 2009

Halloween lasted two days this year. Friday, Julia and I dressed up for Wasatch's annual Halloween Parade. I sported a fairly bland witch costume and at the last minute, Julia made a costume change and decided to be a Polynesian girl. I have to say she was a cute one!

Halloween night Julia met up with cousins and friends to trick or treat together.
This cute group of girls had a great time and scored loads of candy.

Dan and I commented on how strange this Halloween was because we only had one child who actually trick or treated and she preferred to do it with friends.

The highlight of the night was getting to see so many friends, neighbors and ward members with their adorable kids in their costumes!

Halloween 2008

Eight years ago on Halloween Julia was a "50's" girl, proudly sporting her homemade poodle skirt made by her sister Emily. That year, Emily wore a matching poodle skirt she had also made. This year Julia was a "50's" girl again, wearing Emily's original creation.
Where does the time go?




Wasatch's annual Halloween Parade was first thing this morning and I caught pictures of Amy--a very cute pirate.


Eliza looking a lot like Annie (sorry I only got a headshot)!



Ruthie (a cheerleader), sans her ponytails she pulled out, enjoying the parade...


Julia marching along with her third grade class...


And bright and early this morning I caught these pictures of my middle-schoolers.
Hannah dressed up as an Atlanta Braves baseball player AND

Hilary as an Indian.

More pictures to come later!
