Halloween 2015

Halloween was a fantastic weekend filled with fun, and also a learning experience.  As it turns out, costumes in Colorado must be adept enough to wear when it is 70 degrees, and also when it is 40 out.  We had to "ad lib" a bit from our original costume plan, and Eleanor had to leave her Super Girl costume behind for the good old trusty leopard costume, and Alice's Pop Star costume had to be altered to include a jean jacket. Live and learn, I guess.

The smell of candy was in the air, and the natives were restless!  Time for trunk or treat at Alice's school!

 

 

Hands down, the cutest pop star I have ever seen! 

 

This was Eleanor first Halloween to "get it".  She showed us every single piece of candy she collected.

 

Enjoying the fruits of her labor

 

 

 Event #2 Actual trick or treating,  This was the big show folks, and so chilly that Eleanor had to trade her cat ears for a cat hat!

 

 

Jeff, (the good sport) dressed up too! 

 

The kiddos got there loot, and Alice opted to come home early to pass out the candy and see costumes!  All in all, we have enough candy at our house to last until Easter, and the girls are already planning next year's costumes...

Eleanor is 3!

     Eleanor turned 3 (I seriously can't believe it!) on October, 25, and we celebrated with a Peppa Pig themed party at the WOW! Children's Museum in Lafayette, CO.  The kids had a blast, and Eleanor had the time of her life!  Here are some photos of our big event, and our big girl!
