Celebrating Halloween!

Our family tradition... We had fun carving pumpkins on Halloween, this year! Sheldon...... !!! =) And then Sheldon hung doughnuts from the ceiling for us to eat -- without hands! We love doughnuts any way we can get them -- Aaron's motto would be the song "Eat a Doughnut a Day" from Hoops & YoYo!
And with dinner we had 'bubbling brew' in our Halloween cauldron! Love rootbeer and the dry ice effect =)
Although Nathan was born the day after Halloween, he's not into dressing up like his big sister Natalie! The rule was 'no costume, no trunk or treating' so he settled for the wizard cloak.
No, he wasn't 'a little monk' that someone mistook him for : )
Natalie borrowed a ballet costume, wore polka-dotted leggings from her birthday and was our 'untraditional ballerina' =) She is already thinking about what she can be next year...
Sheldon (great Halloween glow-in-the-dark shirt he received for a birthday gift!) and Annaliese our witch (we had to buy that great hat this year -- it was just so her!) with their jack-o-lanterns! Annaliese drew a cute alien she had me carve out for her.
And Evan our Dragon Ninja. He had painted a cyclops on his pumpkin earlier at his friend's house, but had me carve his design on Halloween! And Aaron our Ninja with his piece of work.
Can you see Dracula?
And then we (less Natalie) were on our way to the tri-ward Trunk or Treat.
Happy Halloween!
