halloween 08

happy halloween!
this year we were in denver for halloween. i spent halloween in denver 8 years ago when megan was born! it was fun to be with all the nieces and nephews for their candy, costumes, and craziness.

kate was a turtle. don't mind the velcro strips that show from her shell. it all kind of fell apart at the last minute so we tried to attach it with safety pins :) the best part about kate being a turtle at this age, however, is that when she crawled all over the place, she really looked like this cute little moving turtle :)kate's cousin, reynolds, was a pumpkin. he is a week older than kate and it was pretty cute to see the two of them react to, and play with, each other. he is such a cute butterball and he looked awesome in his pumpkin getup.

jane is renny's big sister. she was cinderella and made a beautiful princess. jane is quite a sparkplug and will be an even spunkier teenager, i'm guessing :) she was so cute in this costume and she would twirl and spin without even being asked.

here are most of the kids. isn't that the cutest turtle you've ever laid eyes on? haha
drew must have lost all of his riches because on halloween night, he showed up looking like a bum and begging for candy. at one point, he even had a sign . . . will work for candy maybe?kali is drew's younger sister.she was a bloody skeleton; hence the bloody bones and markings on her face.

megan was a ghost.
you can't see the rest of her costume here, but she made a pretty adorable casper :) what a sweetheart.

haley was an adorable ballerina.
i love this picture of her - she was taking the modeling so seriously :)

here's megan's haul. isn't that like the best part of halloween? i always loved the sorting, counting, and trading MUCH more than the trick or treating - although it was a very close second place :)

boo!

Kate was easily the cutest turtle I have ever seen. You did a great job making her costume.

Erin, great job on Kate's costume. So cute! You are so creative! I will need help getting Zoeys measurements for you, I am afraid I will mess it up on my own!

oh. my. goodness! That is one of the cutest costumes I've ever seen! And SO perfect for a crawler who moves like a little turtle! You must have been dying the whole time she was dressed in it. Why can't we have halloween once a month?
