Halloween

Birdy, the regal medieval princess. They don't smile at all, apparently.  She is so pretty in this next one ->

Bear, the mighty pirate.  He finally settled on this costume after considering a roly poly bug, flower, bush, minecraft creeper, and Aang from Avatar.

EJ had a vision since August. She really wanted to be a spooky ghost from her favorite books by Mary Downing Hahn (she wrote Wait 'til Helen Comes). She is a specific ghost named Sophia...

It took all my poor sewing skills to sew the dress together, but it turned out well in the end and was a fun creative project to work on together!

And, of course, our annual family picture.  We had lots of fun Trick or Treating with a couple of our friends and their kiddos! The kids got TONS of candy, too.
