Halloween

Halloween is kind of a big deal around here, so I would be remiss if I didn't back up a bit and recap it for you.  Enjoy...

Ava started talking about her costume weeks before the big day, and never once did she waver from her choice: Big Sister was going to be a witch.  She was also insistent that Little Sister be a witch, and since Little Sister can't really voice any objections, it was witch hats all around. 

As usual (since saving all of your trick-or-treating for just one night is for chumps), we got some serious mileage out of those costumes by hitting every Halloween celebration we could find.  The picture above was from downtown Littleton, where Lila racked up some major cute points with her little baby "thank you". 

Ava had not one, but two parties - complete with costume parades - at school.

And we would never miss Boo at the Zoo...

And the big finale, the neighborhood candy-fest on Halloween night.

We had to sub in Ava's old piggy costume thanks to some cold weather.

Lila pretended she was too cold to go out for a second round of trick-or-treating.  I'm pretty sure she just wanted to stay in and raid the candy bowl.

This is quickly shaping up to be one of our favorite holidays.  Hope yours was just as sweet.
