Treaters

Here are the Branditos all ready to hit the streets trick or treating. We had a great time  & much to the kids pleasure came home with loads of candy. Of course their intake will be limited...but they haven't considered that just yet 
(John already went through and claimed most of the kitkats)

Gavin had trouble deciding exactly what he wanted to be this year. His top two picks, were Link from Zelda & a skeleton.  As you can see, in the end he decided on a skeleton. His costume was pretty cool & the bones were textured so you could feel them. The mask was short lived... thankfully... because honestly, it was a little scary... oh, and because it almost caused several accidents due to the limited visibility it provided.

Heaven dressed as Abbey Bominable from Monster High. She's really into Monster High right now as I'm told it's very "cool" unfortunately her "cool" parents find most of the dolls a bit inappropriate, so really Abbey Bominable was her only option. Apparently the Monster High Girls are like half monster & 1/2 Barbie...so she was part Abominable Snow Man or something...I dunno. It's very strange, but she looked gorgeous just the same.

Being a giant Harry Potter fan I have to say Annabelle's costume made my night!! Annabelle made a stunning Hermione Granger! She got so many compliments on her look because, really, she does kind of look like the Harry Potter starlet!! As she has not had any spell training at Hogwarts, she instead used her wand as a weapon most of the evening. I know, you probably find this rather hard to believe...but alas, it is true. Hopefully she can keep those Hermione Granger grades up this year and have another year of all A's!!

The Actual Hermione Granger... Pretty close, huh??
 



After trick or treating we headed to Whataburger for a quick dinner. The kids really wanted to go to the party at CiCi's but we already did our good deed by going to CiCi's to celebrate Chief of the Week and I can only handle CiCi's like once every 3 months....

Ignore the exhaused look :)

We brought home WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY to much Candy!!! The kiddos got to have 4 pieces each before bedtime. We also arrived home to find our first note of the Christmas Season from Santa! It actually arrived Tuesday, but in the hustle of  the night was temporarily lost....APPARENTLY per the note, it looks like we'll be having an Elf on the Shelf (magical tool for parents) again this year...YAY!!!!
