Halloween Fun

We had a blast celebrating Halloween this year.
We had a few of the boys and some of our friends over for grilling out, trick-or-treating, and s'mores. It was so great. We are very thankful for a great community of friends that love us. We have such a great time together.

Ruby was a baby skeleton. I searched and searched for a cute halloween costume for her and everything was just way too big for our girl. So, we went with a skeleton carters sleeper from Andrew's mom. It ended up being perfect because we also found a skeleton costume for Banjo that was on clearance at Target. Our little skeleton babies were just plain adorable!

Ruby slept pretty much the entire time trick-or-treating, which really ended up being chasing the boys from house to house making sure they didn't get run over or steal too much candy from those people that put the bowl on their front porch with a "please take one" note.

Someone told me once that holidays are so much more fun and exciting when you have children, and it's true!! This year was so different than last year when our group of friends met up at our place near the French Quarter and walked down to Bourbon Street, but it was also so much sweeter. I know it's just going to get more fun from here on out, too!
