All Hallow's Eve 2012

Last year, Jenn conceived of and created Max' and Charlotte's Halloween costumes.  This year Charlotte and Max conceived of their own costumes.  Jenn "just" created them.

Charlotte elected to be a pink bunny; Max wanted to be a piggy.


While trick-or-treating on Oakland Avenue, Max and Charlotte (and Jenn and I) ran into our friends Peter, Czarina and Henry.

Max, Charlotte and Peter, dressed as Humpty Dumpty, investigated up close the inflatable jack-o'-lantern and ghosts which had been the objects of Charlotte's and Max' obsession over the previous two weeks and which, until this evening, they could only inspect from the safe distance of our car.

I just couldn't decide which of these two ridiculously cute pictures to post.

So Jenn didn't just create one or two handmade costumes.  She put together three costumes, as we decided that Max didn't love the color of his first piggy costume (the first one was less pink).  Amazing!

We all had a great Halloween, even though Max and Charlotte didn't really get into the swing of trick-or-treating.  They were quite content to run around in their costumes.  But don't think for a second that candy wasn't part of the experience.  I didn't get a picture of Charlotte during the sugar-fueled high that kept her awake well after 10:00pm.  That's a good thing, I think, as we can focus on the above pictures by which to remember Halloween 2012!  I wonder what they'll decide to be next year ...

PS -  Thanks to Peter's mom, Czarina, for sending us these beautiful pictures of Charlotte and Max!!!
