Halloween 2008

Halloween has come and gone....and finally I got a snapshot of our clever jack-o-lantern. In years past, we have gotten each of the kids their own pumpkin to design and carve, but this year we decided to do something a little different. We had most of the kids draw up their own jack-o-lantern design, then Elise selected something from each design for a totally new design! It was a lot of fun...and it turned out great! This may be a new family tradition!Here is the Royal Family :) Plus our poodle skirt gal and a very sweet pea!

Here's the whole of us...just in case you weren't sure, Chet is a Rubik's Cube and I am not in costume...maybe next year.

So...in answer to Bekka's question...All of them, except Brooke's. I sewed all the Royal family costumes (four years ago when we were in Utah....Chet and Quinn were the two knights then, Kylie wore the dress that Savannah has on, and Elise and Brenden are wearing the same costume they wore 4 years ago). Kylie's Poodle skirt I sewed 3 years ago...and, bless her heart, she's still wearing it :) I'm glad she like's it! The sweet pea outfit I bought in Utah before moving here....anticipating the birth of Brooke, actually. She just barely fit in it! Shewweeee. Chet created his own "Rubik's Cube" costume this year.
