Happy Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween! The kids have been so excited for Trick or Treating and to wear their costumes. Adam and Tessa both wore their costumes all day and Gwen did really well keeping her hat on when she had her costume on. 
Adam had a Halloween parade at school this afternoon, so the girls and I went to watch him march in the parade. 

 The cutest Cat in the Hat! Eric thinks we should call her Kitten in the Hat. 

 I am loving these blue wigs I made for them! You can spot them a mile away.

 We went to Ma and Pa's house for dinner and Trick or Treating so we could go with Ares. Before the kids headed out, Ma read them a Halloween story.

 Gwen's first Halloween!





 They had so much fun and got so much candy! Everyone loved their costumes!
 Last year, Tessa ran around yelling, "Candy, here I come!" This year she ran around yelling, "Charge for candy!!"
 We were so surprised to find Santa Claus sitting on a porch, waiting for the kids. He handed out candy canes and some Halloween candy. He reminded the kids to be good and that he would be back in 2 months with more treats. Seeing Santa was the highlight of the night!

 Poor Gwen was worn out by the time we finished making our way around the neighborhood. 
 They wasted no time dumping out their candy to see what and how much they got.
 We will be eating candy for months.....
We got home in time for Adam to catch the last quarter of the Jazz game. He got a few peeks at the score while we were Trick or Treating. 
Another fun Halloween come and gone. I am sure that Adam and Tessa will start planning next years costumes tomorrow morning. I love making these fun memories with them. Eric and I just wish they would stop growing up so fast.
