For the last few years we have done family costumes...
2013
2012
2011
2010
And this year was no different. (I realize the day will come and my kids will decide they don't want to do a group themed costume, but I love it and will do it as long as they love it too!)
We talked about what we wanted to be for a few weeks and one night Ellie took a blanket off her head and her hair was so crazy it reminded me of Ellie from the Disney movie Up and since we had been on our own adventure as a family, moving across the country, we thought it was perfect!
We had a ward trunk or treat the Saturday before Halloween. Here is our trunk...
Nick built this house out of cardboard, tape and hot glue: I was very impressed!
And here we are!
Here are pictures of the kids on Halloween day!

The kids had a great time trick or treating! We went with some neighbors to townhouses in our neighborhood... it was perfect, the kids got plenty of candy and we were done in about an hour.
All of the townhouses have lots of stairs so we got a really good workout. I had to carry Ellie up and down each flight and Jacob needed to rest every now and then. The weather was perfect, just a light jacket and some gloves.
All the candy dumped out when we got back!
Trevor LOVED dying his hair white!
Oh, what will we be next year...

You always do incredible costumes but this year you really outdid yourself. These are amazing! I don't know why you will be next year but I am sure it will be something creative.
Julie! You updated your blog! Yay!! Looks like you're all having lots of fun. And I can't believe how grown up the kids look...especially Ellie. Holy cow! So cute.
