Halloween 2009...OZ!

Halloween is getting a little harder each year. There are so many costume ideas and the girls are not of the "I want to be..." age. So it is left to Adam and I to make it as cute as can be. Plus it is fun to dress the girls in the same theme because I know one of these days they won't let us. This year was Wizard of Oz. Although neither girl has seen the movie the costumes were cute and it was a theme that had multiple characters.

The Halloween season was full of parties and celebrations. This is a few pictures from Brett's Batty Bash. Kinsey was a witch and after seeing Lillian and Keely, decided she was Glenda the good witch. It was a fun party, Lillian won best girl costume and talked about the party for the weeks following. Amy always does a great job with her parties...she has quite the reputation.





Keely the cowardly lion was not a huge fan of the hat but did not care when we drew on her face. She sat very still and looked so cute with her chubby little cheeks and bright blue eyes. It was a perfect 1st Halloween costume. She make a great lion.


Lillian or "Dor-fee" looked so cute with her painted on freckles and tiny little pig-tails. She carried a basket with Todo on it and called him "perro"...maybe a little bit too much Dora. She made a beautiful Dorothy and still wears her glitter shoes. Her "Dor-fee" shoes.


Well to finish off the theme we have Adam as the scarecrow and Austin as the tin-man. Julie and I spent many a night talking about what the kids could be and I was so pleased when it all came together. Austins outfit was just perfect, he was not a fan of his hat either but let us take a few pictures. This is a picture from Truck-or-Treat. It was freezing outside so it was moved inside and we had lots of fun. Some one gave little cars away instead of candy and it was a huge hit with Lillian and Austin. Adam's straw was falling out everywhere. The cleaning lady at church asked who was wearing a costume with hay...I just laughed.



Halloween 2009 was a success...can't wait for next year. I love Halloween!!!
