James and Mac: Halloween!

Halloween!

Our Halloween festivities started the weekend before Halloween at Longmont's annual Halloween parade down Main Street. It is really one of my most favorite events of the year. It just doesn't get any cuter than seeing hundreds of little kids dressed up in costumes. This year the boys were Yoda, The Flash and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The weather that day was fantastic and we had such a great morning!

It just isn't a holiday without some cute matching outfits around here :)

Mac celebrated the day before Halloween with a parade and party in his preschool class at Central.

On the day of Halloween, Tim had off of work so we were all able to go to Central for the parade. All the classes parade around the field and then the 5th graders do a dance to Thriller. It is pretty much the best. Benny did what he does best and looked adorable while sleeping through the whole thing.

James and his buddies in his class-Jasper, Erik, Finn, Jack and Andrew.

Since James and Mac are far beyond the hope of me ever picking/coordinating their costumes again, I set my sights on finding the cutest newborn Halloween costume ever for Benny this year. Success!

My friend, Kyla, who did my maternity and newborn photos of Benny took some photos of him in his costume since I loved it so much.

And I had to snap a few more the day of Halloween.

After school it was time for pumpkin carving round 2.

Heading out to trick or treat around our neighborhood. My dad joined us this year and I can't believe we got a good picture with everyone looking with just one shot!

We just went right around our house for a few blocks, but the boys got quite the haul! Several neighbors had fire pits outside and had spiked cider or hot chocolate for the adults. It was a perfect night, I love our neighborhood!
