Dress-up, Pumpkins, and Chocolate...The Best:)

We love Halloween! That does not mean that we don't always have a bit of stress trying to get everyone ready and on their way. This year Lilli was hurrying us along because her friends were waiting for her. This is actually the best picture I got of everyone together. It's really not too bad considering Lilli was the only one with her "make up" on:)

Lilli was a flapper this year. This is one of my all-time favorite Halloween costumes. Really fun:)

Lilli and her friends ready to head out and hit the trick-or-treating road. I have to admit I miss the days of all of us going out together:( I am glad the girls had fun with their friends though.

Vivien "the snow princess". Nicolette my little leopard cat...another one of my favorite costumes.

Ava was going to be the cheerleader this year. However, when we were at Costco a couple weeks before Halloween, she informed me she had ALWAYS wanted to be a poodle skirt girl...now we have a poodle skirt:)

Ava really wanted to bring her "poodle" with her and so she carried it around in her candy bag...I guess she needed more things to carry;)

Lexi was a witch...kinda...this was all of the costume she could muster. Luckily, she looked really cute. Do you notice the David pumpkin? I wonder what Archuletta would think if he new girls were carving his name into pumpkins now?

The "50's chick", snow princess, and cat...a little disheveled after a full night of trick-or-treating.

Our last stop is always Grandma's house. She always has special Halloween treats for her grandkiddies:)

It was actually almost too hot for the snow princess this year. Our weather was so warm that we welcomed the few raindrops that we got.

Oh...I love this kitty:)

A good night of trick or treats. Nicolette didn't make it to quite as many houses as her sisters. She sure had a great time though. Even though she is often so shy, she had no problem going up to the doors with her sisters and holding up her bag for treats. She also had no problem with the "tank you"...such a fun night. Happy Halloween:)

Cute, cute costumes! I wish we were there to enjoy Janet's special treats. Looks like your girls had a great Halloween night!

Everyone looks great (and beautiful too)! Madi is going to kick herself for not thinking of doing a David pumpkin. Maybe she isn't quite the fan she claims to be.

They are so cute! I don't know how youy manage to get them all dressed up. Two girls just about does me in. Boys are easier. I am with you on the friend thing. This was the first year that Josh went with friends. I was a little sad :( Oh well, I guess it is all part of the process.

I have to say that is the cutest leopard ever! Vivien looks absolutely gorgeous as a snow princess, and Lexi looks beautiful and way too grown up!!!! (Quit that Lexi...but I am very proud of you for going trick or treating) Lili looks beautiful....love the flapper costume. I am going to do that some time for my girls, too fun. Tell Ava I always wanted to be a poodle skirt girl, and did the fifties thing for several costumes but never looked as cute as she did!
