Halloween 2011 ~ It was SUPER!

We got into Halloween much more this year than what we usually do. There were more parties, including our Spooktacular Sleepover posted earlier and Ella's Party/Playdate. We wore several costumes including a cat, Snow White and Grumpy, Sleeping Beauty, a volleyball player, Ramona from Ramona and Beezus, and all of us were Super Heros. Thankfully, we have a great dress up box and some talent!
This was my FAVE!!! We were The Barretts! You know, like The Incredibles,... The Barretts! ha. The best part was that we all made our costumes! Emma made hers ALL by herself and did the sewing on the other capes. I sewed the emblems on but each girl designed their own emblem and helped cut it out. They also picked out their own fabric at the store and made their own wrist cuffs and masks. It was so fun.
Eliza Ramsey had a costume birthday party that we all enjoyed to kick off our dressing up events.

Our church Fall Festival was Sunday. Here are the sweet Ellas.

Monday, Eva Grace had to dress like a book character. She chose Ramona from Ramona and Beezus. If ever a book character matched a kid, this would be a great match.

Emma got to wear her costume she made to school. I'm so proud of her for making hers all by herself. That is impressive for a 9 year old to do.

Ella FINALLY got to have her Halloween party/playdate this morning. She was SO excited! Ella Mae and Faith came over for a little while. We played a mummy wrap game. Faith didn't want to play but Ella Mae and Ella Ruth looked super cute.

Halloween night we did our traditional trick or treating hayride at Nanner and Poppy's with our friends. Tonight Ella was Snow White and Burt was Grumpy. Ella was so excited about her "date" with Daddy. "We are going twick or tweeting togeter."
I don't know what these 2 did but Ella's trick or treat bag was twice as full as Emma and Eva Grace's. :)

Passing out candy was as much fun as trick or treating!
