Happy Halloween!

Halloween in our neighborhood never disappoints.  Matt asked how many more years he could trick-or-treat and I told him as many as he wants as long as he had a good costume!!

Matt wanted to be something scary so he was beyond excited when he found a zombie football player costume!! I wasn't sure about the scary thing but he had so much fun with it that in the end I liked it too. 

We tried so hard to convince Marlie to be the zombie cheerleader but she said it was too scary.  She wasn't really too excited about anything.  We looked online, we went to the store and she finally found this "lovely leopard" costume.  When she put it on her eyes lit up and she was ready to go!!

 Even though this was the first year of not matching I thought they were both really cute!  

We party hopped a bit this year.  First we headed to the Triche's to catch up with them.  I always love to see the costumes the girls pick out.  They were all so cute! The boys were too busy playing football that I couldn't convince them to stop for a picture. 

Then we headed to the Patton's house.  It was super cute...their grandparents sort of disappeared and then we heard a knock on the front door.  They had snuck out and dressed up as sock monkeys! The girls thought it was hilarious! 

After dinner, more football and cupcake decorating, we headed out! It was pretty much impossible to corral all the kids for a picture but we got a fairly good one...and with the sock monkeys too!

After years of trying I finally convinced zombie football player and Jeter (aka Caden Wellmann) that if they took their time, the fun would last longer.  These two and Marlie and Avery strolled from house to house so it was much easier for the adults to keep up! 

Marlie was so excited to see Ashdin along the way.  We're so glad they are truly IN our neighborhood now!

Nene was our official candy hander outer until the kids came home...then they took over! They love handing out candy!

Overall it was a great night with friends and we just love seeing the kids all dressed up.  Can't wait to do it again next year!!
