my favorite day...

as most of you loyal readers know, i'm in love with Halloween. it's always a great day and never an overrated holiday.

yesterday started with a picnic in the park with some local pals. thanks Natalie for the yummy cookies.

then it was off to Pasadena for some delicious dinner by Christy. we put our Halloween garb on and hit the streets. and yes...collin was that excited ALL night!

george won the award for the best assembled costume as the Trasformer-Optimus Prime. Christy is a perfectionist at her craft and this year...it paid off!
jane made the Disneyland Cinderella jealous by her dazzling dress and sassy updo.

and those sweet little best cousins, annie and collin were ready for their sock hop!

after a fun night of tricks and treats, we played some funny games with the westover's and the gunn's with lots of laughs. hooray for Halloween!

Oh my gosh..I could just eat Collin's face. When I think of Halloween and dressing up..my thoughts always turn to you. You look fantastic. Eric and I were so lame this year and didn't dress up. I love your glasses and am jealous that you got to hang out with the Gunn's.

Allright, it's all making sense now.....Julianne was dressed up all 50's for there group dance the other night, so in a way, did you feel like Julianne last night.....was Matthew Helio??? Maybe he could work on that impression!

The Tyler's said...

Stop it this instint with your matchingness!! I love it! And don't even tell me you sewed your skirts. I'm glad Collin had a great first Halloween.

Amanda C said...

Meg, I think you are gettin' a little girlie on us with that little Collin. I guess I am just used to you wearing costumes that don't really qualify as "cute"... but way to go this year you win the cutie patootie award. I love those glasses. Where did you get them? And I love that Collin has a matching bow. I really only check the blog to see all her different headbands.
