We had a busy Halloween this year! Parties, parades, pumpkins, activities...
First off, I should mention that Emma was the first person to decide what her costume would be months and months ago. Brad bought her a Batgirl suit earlier this year for her to play dress-up. The costume was not intended for her to wear for Halloween, but Emma was in such a huge Batman phase she immediately chose that to be her costume, and we did not persuade her otherwise. Scott, who also loves Batman, decided to be his favorite Batman villain: the Mad Hatter.
The Story Behind our Costumes (in a nutshell):
Brad, Lizzy, and I are all Gotham City residents who were unfortunately hypnotized by the evil Mad Hatter. Brad and I are tricked into thinking we are the King and Queen of Hearts, and Lizzy thinks she's the White Rabbit. Batgirl's job is to come rescue us.

School Halloween Parade
Scott and Emma dressed up for their school Halloween parade on Thursday, the 29th. I showed up that morning with Lizzy and sat next to the Hill family. Jason Hill took these pictures:

Ward Halloween Activity
Our ward Halloween party was on the same name night: 10/29/09. We dressed up again-- all of us this time-- and went to our church building. Scott and Emma decorated Halloween cookies, made caramel apples, and played games.
Del Sol Halloween Party
Friday afternoon was Brad's work party. We showed up at 3:00 and went Trick or Treating around the corporate building. Brad wore his "Ned Flanders" mustache from two years ago. It was fun seeing all of the great costumes. Del Sol always gets into the Halloween spirit.
Pumpkin Decorating
Two of our pumpkins started getting rotten by Halloween day, so Emma and I painted those two, and Scott carved the "good" one.
In case you couldn't tell, Emma's pumpkin is of the Robin signal, from Batman.
Halloween with the Cousins
We spent Halloween evening with Bruce and Loralee's family. We had a yummy dinner and Loralee's special Witches Brew, then we went trick or treating in the neighborhood. The kids had a wonderful time!
