Halloween Costumes

I thought that I was going to get away with staying home this year while Aaron went out, but fortunately or unfortunately for him he was sick with that nasty head cold that is making it's way around. With a snow storm just three days earlier, we were pretty fortunate with the weather this year. There was still snow on the ground, and it wasn't nearly as warm as last year, but I have definitely survived much MUCH worse. It was so nice that Syd could keep up this year, no stroller. I savored the moment since it will not be for long.

That picture of Eli made me laugh out loud.
Those are some great costumes. Riley makes a superb Snow White with her beautiful peepers.

Not certain if either of the Angel or witch costumes were a personality fit for the other two, but they seemed quite content with the outcome.

Did you make any of those?

And more important, did Eli bring home candy too? (code for did you get a stash for yourself?)

I was waiting for pictures of your cute kids. They look smashing! Like something out of a magazine. Looks like they had fun. And so fortunate that it wasn't too cold.
Glad you all survived and have great photos to boot.

Oh you are such a good mom. My kid was sick so no trick or treating, and he stayed with grandma while I went to a football game. (ducks vs USC). Your kids are adorable. Hope all is well. Corrine

You crack me up! I love Eli he is so cute. I thought he was a stuffed animal that Rylie was holding at first glance. I agree with celiac auntie, Rylie looks wonderful as snow white. Way cute!

I went to a house in another neighborhood, knocked on their door and asked if I could use their porch to take pictures. They are in our ward, but I don't know them that well. Yeah, I got a funny look, BUT I got a super cute picture, so well worth it!
