Halloween 2017

Tonight we wrapped up another Halloween!  We had such a fun evening as all of our kids are finally old enough to enjoy every minute of it.  We were blessed with beautiful, autumn weather which made for some very pleasant trick-or-treating this evening.  We started out with an early dinner at 5 o'clock before taking our traditional Halloween pictures on the door step.  All five of us then set out as a group to trick-or-treat up our hill and back down again which takes a little over an hour and is the perfect amount of time for our kiddos to be out walking and door-bell ringing.  We then returned home a little after 7 o'clock in order for the children to have plenty of time to answer the door while counting their candy and watching Disney's old school version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow which I love!  Lia and Logan love answering the door as much as they love trick-or-treating, so they were lucky to have many visitors until almost 9 o'clock tonight.  As always, it was such a fun way to spend the evening with our darling children!

Since preschool fell on Halloween, Ella was able to dress up as Snow White, her second Disney princess of the season, and go to a party at Jace's house. They played several games, completed some Halloween activities, ate treats, and played outside.  Here she is standing by the decorations outside their front door before going in.

Ella decided to dress up as a third, Disney princess (Rapunzel) while Lia and Logan stuck with their original costumes of Rey and a pirate.

Lia as an adorable Rey--the coolest heroine from the Star Wars franchise.
