Halloween 2014

We had a great Halloween despite being pretty wet and cold. There was no school for Alia due to conferences (smart planning by the school, huh?). Max had preschool as usual and had a fun harvest party. In the afternoon, we went to our neighborhood Halloween party that had art projects, activities and treats. Then Eilee joined us for dinner, playing and trick or treating! Jason and I took all three kids out (in the rain, I might add) while Grammy held down the fort and handed out candy at our place.
 
Queen Elsa, Ladybug and Olaf

Best friends - SO happy to be spending Halloween together!

Max made a great silly Olaf the snowman


Seriously, could she more beautiful?

The kiddos ready to get out of the house and fill up those buckets!

We were all wet, cold and tired when we got home from trick or treating, but first thing the next morning the kids counted out and sorted their candy!



 
My mom made Alia's Queen Elsa dress. We had originally purchased a pattern but Alia had so many design ideas of her own that it ended up being a one of a kind, original dress!


 
One of her most important requests was that the cape touched the floor and dragged behind her (just like Queen Elsa in Frozen) so mom made it so that we could basically bustle it up for trick or treating so it wouldn't get dirty.

I have ZERO sewing skills. My only contribution was gluing on the snowflake rhinestones to the sleeves :-)
