Halloween 2015

Beautiful Halloween this year. I usually try to do family themed costumes, but as the kids get older and have their own ideas about what they want to be we have to roll with that.

This year Chloe wanted to be a Vampire Princess and Connor wanted to do Star Wars. To make it work, Carl was Dracula and I was Princess Leia.

It turns out our new neighborhood isn't really into Halloween. We were only 1 of 2 houses that decorated on the block. That was the clue that it probably wouldn't be good trick-or-treating here. 

So we packed up and headed to the old neighborhood. The kids were up early that morning so naturally they crashed on our drive.

But fun was had by all once we arrived.

 There is another family in the neighborhood who had boy/girl twins a year and a half ago. They came in Star Wars gear too and looked really great. I only got this one picture, but I love little Leia's knit hat. She is too cute!

The Vampire Princess being "scary" while trick-or-treating. Thank heavens the Hello Kitty bag takes the edge off or she might not get any candy.
