Halloween 2011

There are more photos from earlier in October but public demand has resulted in posting pictures not in chronological order. So Halloween 2011, first year in our new neighborhood and the consensus is that we are in a good candy part of Portland. Annie when asked the name of this holiday, told Darla that it is "Sugarween." I feel that she has understood the spirit of the day.

Joseph has no idea what to make of being dressed up in a Tiger costume...but he is ticklish and that's a trick and treat all rolled into one!

The sacrificial pumpkin...

Annie drew some of the designs for the pumpkin and added some decorations to the top.

Annie was a homemade pink Bunny and Joseph was a Tiger, in an outfit that makes a great sleeper

Joseph has not yet mastered his terrifying tiger face...I think he was a little nervous about the over sized pink bunny jumping around the yard.

Annie had a cute little bunny tail that struggled to stay on throughout the trick or treating adventures...but Dad resorted to duct tape and all was well.

At first she was some what hesitant to knock on strangers' doors but once she saw candy flowing into her bags she was very eager to go to as many houses as possible. A great time was had by all.
