I love Halloween and I love dressing up. My mom's birthday is right around Halloween and it is her favorite holiday. She always made a big deal about it growing up. Recently Derek and I have begun to discuss our Halloween costumes in August. My husband Drew thinks we are crazy but he is always a good sport about dressing up. These are a few of the costumes we have done in the past.
Derek's first Halloween. We were clowns.
This year I was a princess, Drew a king and Derek a dragon.
Last year we went as Star Wars characters. I was princess Leia, Drew Han Solo, Derek was Anakin and Owen was Chewy.
This year after much discussion we finally settled on characters from Toy Story 2. Owen was Woody, Derek was Buzz, I was Jessie and Drew was Stinky Pete.
We had a ward Halloween Carnival and Trunk or Treat. It was so much fun. They had a dinner, booths for the kids, a costume contest, and a Michael Jackson Thriller performance by the youth. The party finished up with Trunk or Treat. It was so much fun!
My mom loves Halloween so much that this year she wanted to be here for Halloween. We had a great time with her here.
It was so much fun. I kind of get sad when it is all over. It doesn't last long because I know Christmas is just around the corner.
