Halloween with the Hamstras!

Halloween this year was a blast. Both kid thoroughly enjoyed it so of course we did too! After a long debate my stubborn little girl agreed to be Minnie Mouse for Halloween. She originally wanted to be a pig but I couldn't track down a pig costume locally that was in her size.... Now, to be honest I didn't put a ton of effort into it but in the end she was thrilled to be Minnie.

My parents rarely miss an occasion to be with the kids and my dad even rescheduled his business trip to be with us for trick-or-treating!

Waiting for GG & Bampa to arrive:

Isn't it remarkable how much John Michael looks like my dad in this picture? Its accentuated by his all black wardrobe. :)

So, when they arrived we put the finishing touches on the kids costumes, handed out some cool Halloween flashlights the kids loved....



...and headed over to our first house, Bampa and Mom-Mom. I don't know how I missed getting a picture of either kid with Mom Mom but here is one of Addy with Bampa and an attempt at getting a picture of both kids on her festive front porch:





After our visit we headed back to our neighborhood to round the block. This, of course, took way longer than it should've because we just had to stop at every participating house and talk excessively about how incredibly cute our kids are..... and isn't that so much of the fun? Watching other people gloat about how cute your kids are? I just love it when people agree with me!

So, enjoy the remaining pictures and I hope to blog again soon!

I must agree that your kids are so sticking cute! You know my fondness of pigs, glad Addy went with the Minnie costume. She looks like a little lady.

Are you taking JM to the Bee movie? Hear that is the next Happy Feet.

ADORABLE!! Addy's costume is PERFECT for her, and JM couldn't be any cuter! Looks like you had a great time! :)

Those are great pictures! I decided to chuck all religiousness aside, and let Priya go out and have some fun. She was a cute cowgirl... And she had a lot of fun.

Oh Gosh...can this get any cuter? No wonder it took so long to get through so few houses! Very cute Michelle! I think Addy and the "real" Minnie have some serious competition.
