No more days till Halloween...

As soon as we woke up on Halloween morning the celebrations began!  Mom started by cooking us a holiday inspired breakfast (a jack o lantern omelet), which we BOTH enjoyed gobbling down.
After breakfast Mom dressed us in the Halloween outfits she made the night before, and let us watch a few SPOOKY Disney cartoons!


Before leaving for school, Mom made us pose for some pictures...


I had the most fun posing with the spooky guys in the yard!



After about a thousand pictures, Mom decided it was time for school!



Wouldn't you know, she made us pose for a few pics there too...





In our classrooms we got to do all sorts of FUN Halloween crafts.  Here is Macie drawing a picture with Miss Barbara.

After school Mom took us to gymnastics where we ran around and had a blast!






Back at home we continued the fun by playing dress up with silly Halloween props- Here I am with my vampire teeth in!


It seemed like the day was stretching on FOREVER, until finally it got dark and Mom let us put on our costumes!!

This year I chose to be Strawberry Shortcake, and at first Mom was a little concerned (and dissapointed since she was really looking forward to making my costume), but at the end of the day she decided that it was the perfect costume for me...



I was really happy with what Mom had created, and couldn't stop posing to show it off!!!




Macie decided that she wanted to be an ANGRY BIRD this year (Mom thought it was hilarious considering she has only played the game a handful of times with Dad.)  Mom had the best time making Macie's costume, and couldn't stop laughing when she finally put it on...


She even had great ANGRY faces to make when posing.


Before going out to trick or treat, we were once again coerced into taking some photos in the yard...


When it was finally go time,we were super excited!!! 




Macie was super excited to be trick or treating this year, and couldn't get enough of the door bells...


Along the way we met up with a few friends from our neighborhood.  Here with our with Savannah and her family- it was her first Halloween and she was really excited!


Later we ran into Genevieve and Mom was super excited to see her dressed up in the Ballerina Vampire costume she made for her!


I walked with the big girls,


while Macie hung back with Dad!


A few houses down we met up with one of my best friends, Sophie!!!


Macie and I had fun walking the neighborhood with her and her family!


After about an hour, Macie and I started to poop out.  On the way back to the house Aunt Hayley met up with us to watch us trick or treat at a few more houses before we called it a night.


Back at home we sat on the couch and watched an old episode of Scooby Doo, Where are You? while eating a few pieces of candy.  By the time the episode was over we were tuckered out and ready for bed.

Tired from a day full of fun, we posed for one more picture before heading upstairs:



We both crashed out as soon as our heads hit the pillow.  In the morning we woke up talking all about the fun day we had; I am already counting down the days till next year...
