Halloween!!! :)

Ava was super excited for Halloween!  She couldn't wait to get dressed up as a princess and go trick-or-treating.  Alex was a little more oblivious to the impending activities, and really was  not to thrilled that we decided to dress him up as Clifford the Big Red Dog - he doesn't really care for hats!

Finally Halloween arrived, Ava was all set and looked adorable as Snow White (thanks to the costume tia Stela got for her and that she has been wearing everyday for the last two weeks!).  We dressed Alex as Clifford, complete with doggy hat, bone collar, and tail (though the hat only lasted 2 minutes, and we hadn't even left the house).

We went next door for a potluck dinner with the neighbors, then took the kids around the block with our other neighbor's 3 young girls.  Ava had a fantastic time getting tons of candy, thanks to being the cutest little princess trick or treating ;)  Alex enjoyed riding in the wagon and getting to eat about 5-6 lollipops as we made our way around the neighborhood - he was quite upset when it was over.

My sweet princess...

all set to go trick-or-treating!

Alex was did not like having a hat on, and Ava didn't like hearing him complain!

"Get this thing off my head!"
