We don't do ghouls and goblins but we do love to let the kids dress up and have a little fun...and get themselves some "loot" in the process!
When Mike and I were pregnant with Natalee we found this almost new Old Navy pirate costume at a yard sale. We bought it and were so excited. Can you believe it didn't fit a single child until now!? They just didn't hit the right size at the right time to be a pirate. To go with the pirate theme I wanted to do family costumes and have Captain Hook, Tinkerbell, Wendy and Peter Pan. Unfortunately my kids all have their own opinions and no one else loved my idea. Isn't Halloween about dressing up for fun? Anyways, I'm not fighting about costumes.
And so we had:
Minnie Mouse...
Natalee completely planned her own costume, actually using one of her dresses. She likes to be comfortable!
a football player...
{A huge thank you to Colby for the helmet and to Miss Darla for saving the day and loaning Xavier the pants and jersey. He was over the moon and had the time of his life!}
the lovely Cinderella...
{Cinderella was almost Minnie Mouse at the last minute because she loves to match big sister, but in the end she stuck with her original choice. She chose her own costume from our dress up options all on her own too.}
and our pirate...
Seriously.
We were also joined by Taco Teddy! Darling boy.
We walked the wagons around the block and let the kids go door to door at a few houses before going to the town square to do Trunk or Treat. Trunk or Treat was packed but what generous people we have in our town! For.real! After that we walked to Great Grandma Betty's and let her house be our final stop. She always loves to see the kids in their costumes and they love to see her.
It was a full, sweet night that ended with a little candy to eat and some loot sorting!
Mia tried to collect everyone's Snickers bars...lol.
