This year Halloween was super fun because it was Ben's first "real" Halloween that he understood the concept of dressing up and getting candy. His first bag of loot came from school, where they had a candy parade though the church halls. He was to dress up as a Biblical character, so Mama made him a king costume from a bathrobe and (spray painted) Burger King crown ~ he loved it and was so proud!!

For the actual trick-or-treating on Halloween, Ben dressed up as a golfer. I really can't believe he wore the whole costume, including the hat, the whole time, but we kept saying how he was "just like Daddy", so I think he felt really cool :)
We had pictures made as part of a charity event, and both of them were super cute! Anna wasn't any particular costume....just a cutie pie!!
On Halloween night, we went to a friend's neighborhood to gather with all of Ben's little buddies.

We might be mean parents, but after the night was over, we just hid Ben's candy bag and never mentioned it again....whew! We had our taste of sugar highs and crashes from the school candy and didn't want to repeat it! Ben has quite a big sweet tooth and once he got a taste of it, he constantly pestered us for candy for DAYS!!

Anna must have seen a ghost...ha ha!!
But then it was all smiles!! She did so great riding in the stroller, even though it was FREEZING outside!!
Fun times and great memories for our family!!
