It seems that 3 is the beginning of the magic age for holidays. The girls didn't remember last Halloween but the more we talked about it (costumes, candy, trick-or-treating, CANDY), the more excited they got.
Yee-Haw!
I used the power of suggestion to influence their choice of costumes (b/c how CUTE are they??). I'm sure my days of having thematic halloweens are numbered, so I'll make the most of it while I can.
As a Halloween warm-up, we went to Rob's firm party. And man, do those YetterColeman folks know how to throw a party!
The theme this year was Frozen, complete with Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, and Olaf. All of the kids were totally star-struck.
Kristoff making balloon characters
These people were AWESOME. They stayed in character the entire time--even when we ran into them in the parking lot on the way out.
Anna painting arms
Elsa, too.
SO happy
The pièce de résistance was when Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff acted out an abbreviated version of the movie. The only thing they didn't abbreviate was a full-throttle rendition of Let It Go. And it was really, legitimately good! The kids thought they had died and gone to heaven.
The entire room was so into it!
The party was such a big success that I was a little worried actual, normal trick-or-treating would be a let-down. But with a consistent intake of sugar, we made it through our church trunk-or-treat as well as a decent portion of the neighborhood in very good spirits.
Their trusty steeds (Max & Kuka) made it the whole way too
I think that Halloween kind of lags behind other holidays between ages 10 and whatever-age-you-are-when-your-kids-turn-3. And then, it's awesome again. :) Can't wait for next year!
The view from Dad's office--it's never been cuter!
