Cute Little Things

Since we've been married, Halloween has become one of my favorite holidays because we actually have friends who like to dress up! Every year, our small group has a costume party, & it's always tons of fun. This year, I had two willing subjects who agreed to dress up as whatever I chose. (Okay, they actually may resent me when they're older, but they sure were cute!) So, here are Thing 1 (Jake) & Thing 2 (Mallory). Kathy came over on Tuesday to help me figure out the rest of their costumes & brought these dolls that she had gotten when she bought the book, so we had to get a picture with them. Here's our trio. We were very sad that J couldn't join us for the event. He was stuck in Oklahoma City for work, so this is the first year he's had to miss the party.
Zack & Tami threw a great party, & everyone went all out for their costumes this year. Jonathan, Jill, & their "little monster" Mason:
Philip (a Christmas tree) & Paige
Haylee was flying solo like I was, but her costume ended up fitting in nicely with Garrett & Amy (Meredith Grey & McDreamy).

Sparky was looking tough in his football uniform with Coach Sarah by his side. Isn't Riley the cutest scarecrow you've ever seen?Zack, Tami & their cute little ladybug, Kate:Jacob & Jenn were a hair stylist & his client. See the curling iron in his pocket? He may need to keep his day job, but the costumes looked great.Mark & Hattie were Olympic champions Michael Phelps & Nastia Luken. Notice Mark's eight gold medals.
In our small group, there's always great food!My creation, a jack-o-lantern cheese ball:Here are some random shots I got throughout the night.All the kiddosHappy Halloween!
