Halloween 2012

We did lots of dressing up this year.  We had a ward Halloween party, a costume party for Camilla's birthday, dressing up for school/preschool parties, as well as regular ol' trick-or-treating.

Here are some photos of our costumes!

 Natalia the ladybug. . .

 Anna the lady bug. . .

 Madeline the ladybug . . .

 Camilla the ladybug. . .

 Eliza the ladybug. . .

 Mommy and Mari the ladybugs!

 I had two ladybug costumes of my own, then we inherited four more from Granatas, I made Mari a make-shift one, and we had a perfect theme for our girly family!

 I wish we'd had a "manbug" or some other bug sort of costume for Kevin, but we didn't and I didn't take time to make one, so he was a baseball player.  Handsome, too.

 This adorable little Grandma was hands down my favorite costume at the party.  She was absolutely adorable!!!

 Everyone changed costumes for the real Halloween night.  I was heartbroken as Madeline's good friend called and asked Madeline to come trick-or-treating with them.  She shouldn't be old enough to do that yet, should she?  She shouldn't be so excited to go trick-or-treating with someone other than her mother, should she?  She shouldn't be allowed to keep and eat all 10 lbs of candy she came home with should she?  Kevin and I decided we might have to break down and trick-or-treat to more than just our lane or our kids will always want to go with other friends!

Madeline had already left by the time I got around to taking a picture of everyone, so she's not in this photo.

I had to add this last one of Eliza and her cute bow headband.  She designed and made it herself just an hour or so before trick or treating.  So cute!
