Halloween 2011

Super late post, but I figured I better do it anyway... Well we had a really fun Halloween this year! We had our first little family party with the cousins. It was so fun to see all the costumes and soon to be an annual thing I hope! We enjoyed some fun Halloween snacks and food. Then we had a costume contest and all the kids got a prize, we had to get a little creative since there was so many kids... Mason won "Most Force", he thought is was pretty cool! We also had a pumpkin carving contest. Here is Mason's beauty! After everyone was done, they each got to vote on which one they liked best, but they could not vote for their own. I was worried that some kids might be sad or get offended but they were all really great sports. Jaden was the grand winner with her pumpkin trophy! I just spray painted a fake pumpkin gold and glued it to a plastic base, kinda cheesy, but she was proud! After all the fun and games the kids sat down and watched a movie. It was a super fun little night and I am already looking forward to next year's!

Notice I didn't post any pics of my kids yet... I was waiting to show you. I love when I can match them, and since Mason is older he chooses the theme. This year was Star Wars! He wanted to be a Jedi, I think mainly because he wanted a light-saber! So Avery had to be Princess Lea. She was excited to be a princess, but I don't think that this is what she had in mind... She wasn't too fond of it at first, especially that hat, but she eventually warmed up to it. They were so cute Trick or Treating together. I love this, but Avery will probably have her own opinion next year so we will see!
