Trunk-or-Treat

Halloween is one of our favorite holidays! The kids get so excited when thinking about what they want to be for Halloween and they almost always surprise me with what they want to dress up as. This year our Halloween consisted of going to two Trunk-or-Treats and going out Trick-or-Treating in the neighborhood Sunday night. This picture is of the kids all dressed up ready to go to the Trunk-or Treats.

John always has to be something scary for Halloween and this year was no exception. He wanted to be a pirate,but not just a regular pirate. He had to throw in this gross mask to make himself look scary. He also informed me that he is getting to old to go out Trick-or Treating with his family and that next year he wants to go with friends.

Jessica wanted to be a clown this year. It fits her personality so well and everyone loved her clown costume. I loved it because all we had to buy was the wig and red nose. Jessica was invited to a Halloween party Friday night at Grace's. She wore her costume for the party, so Jess ended up wearing her costume 3 nights in a row. In order to make it to the party on time Jess had to wear her costume to piano as well, she was little embarrassed when people would stare at her as we drove down the interstate.


My Abbi wanted to be a cat. We looked at many cat costumes and she finally decided to be this black and white one. We found this really cute cat nose to wear with the costume, but it was a little tight and hurt her nose. Dad did a great job at painting her face though.
For all of our festivities this year the weather was great. Normally on Halloween night it is really cold, the ground is often covered in snow and you have to bundle up so much that you can't even see the costumes. This year the kids went out just how you see them in the pictures. John and Jess did not have anything on under their costumes and Abbi just had leggings and shirt under hers. We could not have asked for a more perfect night.
