Halloween 2010

Halloween 2010 - waiting for down town to open at 5: 00 for trick or treating

Elijah was still under the weather for Halloween, but we still dressed up and went trick or treating in down town Hood River. This Halloween was the best weather that we can remember in our four years in Oregon. It was very mild and did not requiring covering up our costumes with jackets. Elijah spent the majority of the evening in daddy's arms and Alora was thrilled to run from each store to the next amidst crowds of other kids.
Crunching on the fall leaves. The kids ran up and down this strip for almost twenty minutes. It was almost as exciting as candy.
I tried very hard to get a good picture of Elijah; but he was having so much fun playing in the role of a dragon. I ended up opting for the mischievous pictures. Here he is hiding behind the tree trying to scare anyone that walked by.
I took my eyes of him for one second and he took Snow White's apple and ate it.
Alora insisted on being Snow White. She was so proud of her costume and was acting very dainty while wearing it. She didn't want her gloves to get dirty. The night was filled with spontaneous twirling! One minute she would be trick or treating and the next she would be whirling around with her hands in the air. It was so cute!
I told Alora of all the princesses she is most like Snow White. Here she is posing with all her forest friends (well monkeys and goats might not technically live in the forest).
