Since I'm still surrounded by boxes, I broke with tradition and did not make costumes this year. We dug through our boxes of costumes, and the kids all found something they were happy with. We ended up using costumes from 4 different years. There were a bunch of different activities at the Trunk-or-Treat, including pictures with a professional photographer. The kids had a lot of fun.
Maddie and Emma wore bug costumes from 2008.

In 2011 we were all either vikings or dragons from the movie "How to Train Your Dragon" and in 2012 most of the kids did a "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" theme. Lana and Gwyn were Oompa Loompas, Everett was Willy Wonka, and Emma was a blueberry. Maddie chose to be a fairy queen. Next year I'll most likely be making costumes again. I have a lot of fun with it, but it was nice to have an easy year this time!

Everyone is so cute and one handsome one- I just laughed when I saw Maddie----I think the spider ate her. Miss you guys- hope the new home, area, school and church are all going well for you. Love ya, Carol Kohser
Gwyn is looking a little long in the chaps this year ;-)
Also, I had to do a triple take with Lana and Emma in the same costume at roughly the same age. What cuties!
Thanks for posting these, they were terrific!
