Happy Halloween!

I love Halloween! And I loved it even more this year since Jackson was into it! Over the past years, he has not wanted anything to do with the costumes but from Day one he said he wanted to be a StormTrooper. I even had a back-up plan in place because I didn't think he would wear his costume, but I was wrong! He wore it all night long and loved it!

Wesley and I started a family tradition before kids that we would have croissant dogs on Halloween and open our house to anyone who wanted to celebrate together. This year, we had quite a crowd.

All the kids had a blast together. It was so cute to watch them get excited about the costumes, candy, and Trick-or-Treating...or as Jackson calls it "Tucker Treating!"

Princess Leia (Addie), Storm Trooper (Jackson), Yoda (Flashers)

I took this one from the side - I am hoping to find who took it from the front view because it has to be adorable with Philip leaning over and Alayna and Sam laughing!

Philip found his LOVE for Candy!

Waiting at another door...see the pink balloon in both pictures? One of our neighbors gave it out to all the girls and gave the boys MatchBox Cars...definitely a crowd-favorite! 

Towards the end, R2-D2 figured out what has happening outside the wagon and started making the break to the doors!

Back at the house, the adults had some fun while the kids sugared-up!

Love these girls!
Ashley, Katey, Leanne and Kate...
And, the pink balloon!

Oh...all that's right in the world is in these Pumpkin Whoopee Pies!
Thank you, Kate, for brining these yummy treats! 
I was so excited to use my new beverage container! Thanks, Wesley for making all the tea!
