halloween…

November 4, 2008

This year, our entire family dressed up (which we have never done before). But, how could we not dress up, considering that we live in the same house as Jane? She has an entire room devoted to costumes! So, for Halloween…we were the royal family:

After taking a few pictures, we went over to the town trunk-or-treat at the church. However, it was short lived because there was a high school football game that night. It just seems so small town to me that the whole town shuts down to go to the football game. But I prefer that my kids not get a ton of candy, so it was just right for us.
Also, BJ and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary! We celebrated by talking and drinking hot chocolate on the balcony after the kids went to bed. I know that doesn’t sound very exciting compared to how we spent our 5 year anniversary (in Hawaii), but somehow…it was perfect. I am so thankful to be married to BJ!

    Dressing up as a family and sharing hot cocoa with your hubby are those special memories that you will cherish forever. Who needs Hawaii, when you have moments like that already. Your family looks great as royals. (:

    HaHa! I knew that my mother-in-law (Jane) would get you all dressed up. Too perfect! I am glad that Tayla’s old costume was able to work for Addy. I added the overskirt when Tayla was Christine to Kade’s Phantom. :)

    What? BJ wasn’t a dragon? I’m still impressed he dressed up! He still the coolest Dad award for that! Looks great!

    Those costumes are fantastic! How fun! One year Wes and I dressed up as Dorthy and Scarecrow. It’s fun to do those type of things TOGETHER. Congratulations on your 10th!

    You guys look great!

    Emily wanted us to dress up as the incredibles- somehow I think I’m too chubby to pull that off. Looks like you guys had fun- do you like small towns. I do. It forced us to find fun at home… but I did miss the shopping!
