Halloween 2010

The Flapper--picked out her own necklaces, and loved them.  Then she ended up taking them off to be wild in the bounce house.  But they did look cute while they lasted.

The Movie Star--Looked so cute the first party we went to, I did her hair up and it was so sophisticated.  But we ran out of time the second night, I still think she is fashionable.

My adorable niece Rosie, with her Mr. T necklaces.  I don't know what is up with that but it's working for her!

Buzz Lightyear--Nate thought, wait, thinks he is Buzz Lightyear.  I borrowed this costume, and he has worn it non stop.  Especially the wings, which he has had on at all times since we got them.  I don't know how I'll give it back, he will be devastated! 

"Dad can I eat this one?"  And I love the response face.

Emma is growing up.  Really, it amazes me sometimes.  I'm not ready for her to be so big, but she sure is.  She was upset with me for not letting her tie her cape so it dragged on the ground.  Hence the mad face.  She can really get the teenager attitude going!

Buzz Lightyear, shooting his laser at Justin.  He is so cute because he looks for the button on his costume and pushes the exact spot, while making his own sound effect.  I love this kid.  He is growing up too, he can really throw a tantrum...very persistant.

My double adorable niece Natalie, with half a smile.  Love this kid!  I took her from her Dad after the party so he could help clean up.  She nuzzled up with her soft little head right under my chin and went to sleep.  Sigh.  This is why we get conned into having more.  I will sure miss her!

And lastly, my favorite costume of the night.  If you don't know who this is, you don't read enough.  The Paper Bag Princess.  I heard that this cutie, niece Aurora, decided on this costume a year in advance and kept reminding her mom about it.  Carrie says it was the easiest costume ever, and so perfectly adorable!  It is so fun to be able to see cousins.  After the trunk-or-treating the kids gathered around our car and traded hugs and candy.  I had fun watching them all enjoy each other and rubbing my cheeks on little Natalie's fuzzy head while she slept.
