Hudson's First Halloween

It's hard to believe this was Hudson's first Halloween, and our first in our new neighborhood. We had a good number of trick-or-treaters, and lots of fun stuff going on at some of the houses. What I didn't realize, though, was how far apart every house is on our street! Holy cow! I'm embarrassed to say that I was a little sore the next morning from all the walking. Trying to keep up with Ella and Brooklyn while pushing a double stroller with a 22 pounder and a three-year-old up and down hills, driveways and front walkways was exhausting. Not to worry... I eased my discomfort in a large bucket of chocolate, Sour Patch Kids, and every other variety of candy you can imagine. WE HAVE A TON OF CANDY!!

We got this lion costume from Aunt Lindsey. I assumed it would fit since the size said 12 months... it didn't. I couldn't snap it and could barely velcro the shoulder straps, but I think it worked fine for the short amount of time he was in it. He didn't like it much, anyway.

 The kids all had parties at school. Here is Kendall's pre-school class getting ready to go trick-or-treating around the boro. There are only 10 kids in her class this year, which is great!!

 Ryan took a break from work to join us...

 Hudson was in love with Kendall's purple pumpkin! He wouldn't let go of it so she could go trick-or-treating.

 Halloween night at our front door. We are ready to hit the neighborhood and see what kind of goodies these new neighbors hand out. We were totally impressed!

 Little Miss Ella. She always wants to be these random characters from cartoons or movies that no one has ever seen or really knows about. This year she wanted to be a Barbie Musketeer. Unfortunately, her hat didn't turn out so we ended up having to use this cute cowgirl hat from her grandma and grandpa Asay. Everyone thought she was a cowgirl because of the hat. Oh well.

 Brooklyn and Kendall are always so easy. We found their costumes at half price at Babies R' Us while we were there picking up diapers for Hudson. This is Brooklyn's second year as a lady bug.

 I think this is Kendall's third year as a fairy princess. We have plenty of fairy costumes at our house if anyone needs to borrow one sometime!
