We were a family of bumble bees this year with our trusty bee keeper keeping us all in line! When Jeff and I were first married we did this same theme with our dog Chica, and yes, Chica did have a costume. So we only had to do the kids costumes and we were set. I love dressing up with a theme. I will be sad when the kids want to do their own thing. We had a great ward trunk or treat with the traditional chili cook off, cup cake walk, spook alley, and of course trunk or treating. I am the activities chair and I think next year I am going to try to find some new twists for the trunk or treat. Any ideas throw them my way.
We had fun carving our pumpkins. For some reason the one on the left was like carving a rock. It was so tough. The other however was like cutting butter so Ainslee got to do most of the work.
We ditched our own neighborhood this year and went to our friends who live in a town house. We met up with five other families. It was really fun.
Nolan was totally into it. Ainslee still didn't get it at age two, but when it comes to food and Nolan it is a no brainer. He was so cute going door to door. He would say, "Tic Teet" and hold his bag out proudly. When it got to heavy he handed it over to dad.
Ainlsee had fun running with her bff Kassidy.
It was a really warm night, we couldn't have asked for a better evening. It was so warm in fact that we decided to take the buggie over to meet our friends, as its only a few miles.(so we don't look so warm, but the night before it was freezing) On the way home however we broke down between the Bacon Race light and Wade. For those that don't know this is a dark narrow part of the road. We only had our little flashlight from trick or treating and I was waving it back and forth while we were pushing our buggie to Wade. Good thing we live mostly down hill. We pushed...coasted...pushed...and coasted. It would have been fine if Ainslee wasn't screaming she was scared. We never realized how dark our road was until this little expierience.
The kids made a haul and were very cute checking out their candy when we got home. Ainslee was so giving...she gave Jeff and I our own bowl with all the candy she didn't like in it. Lol. We have thrown much of the candy away.

It's nice to know we are not the only ones who like to dress up as a family. You guys look great. BTW, Liz and Ed from the cruise emailed BRian. He wanted us to know they had a great time because they hung with us. Who wouldn't? They said if we go on another one and don't mind old people tagging along, let them know. Maybe we will tell them about our 2010 Europe trip? I hope monkey lady and snaggle tooth will be there! :)
Those costumes are so cute! I was just reading a People magazine and saw that Tori Spelling and her family did almost the exact same thing. Only, I think yours is better! What a blast.
