Halloween

Halloween week kicked off with some pumpkin carving. After weeks of careful thought, we finally found the perfect costumes for everyone.

Ellie dressed as a hula girl, Teyah as Mulan, Kyler as a 'worker' (aka builder), and Aubrie as an Olympic gymnast.

This was the pre-trick-or-treating outfit without his 'worker boots' and with his pj's underneath. This outfit was a good fit for him because he has a fascination with 'workers.'

This cute girl had to winter up her hula girl outfit.

Apparently, our fun pumpkin -- that the girls completely designed -- is posing as a gymnast too!

This Mulan is beautiful!

We had so much fun trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood this year! The weather was decent and the new houses, routes, and friends were fun.

Dave has a tradition of wearing the most bold costumes. I think this year topped all of them. He had to pose with the other four Mitt Romneys at the church trunk-or-treat party, since Big Bird was a tool for political fodder this year.
