Halloween, 2016
We had a great time celebrating Halloween this year!
Abigail and George got really into everything about it; from costumes to pumpkin carving, they were thrilled.
Back in September we bought George a Superman costume at Costco (to get him out of his Elsa dress), and he quickly adapted; wearing Superman most every day and night. So it seemed only natural that we join him in a super hero themed Halloween!
All was well as I ordered everyone's costumes, and George was excited to see each as they arrived, but come Halloween Eve as we all tried on our new costumes, George was left with his "old" Superman costume and he was really sad (cue Mommy guilt).
So of course I wanted to help, and here I am at 6pm the night before Halloween, calling around to the local costumes stores and searching online for a "blue Batman" costume. I was able to find a same-day delivery one on Prime, but when it arrived the next day it was far too big. So, after convincing him that Spiderman would be super cool (I happened to notice a bunch of them left at Target earlier in the day) off we went (at 4pm on Halloween day!) to rescue George from costume depression.
(yes, this was all incredibly hectic and something I wish to avoid at all costs in years to come 😬)
Once everyone was settled, happy, and dressed, we set off to Mamie and Papa's house for their annual Halloween party!
The cousins were back in town and the kids loved hanging out with them, going trick or treating, and eating hot dogs (Abigail had been talking about how Papa dresses up like a hot dog on Halloween for weeks!)
Here are some pictures from the night:
At the very least, it was a Halloween to remember!
I hope you all had a fun holiday as well.
Happy Halloween 🎃

| Yep, I let him wear it out of the store 😆 |

| Happy and ready to roll |

| Benny's mask didn't work very well 😂 |
 |
| Back home I let them have one more treat |
 |
| Then it was time to leave the rest of their goodies out for the Ghost of Halloween Spirit! |
At the very least, it was a Halloween to remember!
I hope you all had a fun holiday as well.
Happy Halloween 🎃
