This year the kids did the graveyeard -- I thought it had a great "ruined" feel to it so I left them to their own devices.
We once again coordinated costumes and Will picked Star Wars so it was off to the raises. The challenging aspect of Star Wars is the lack of female characters. So we toyed with several ideas (Jawa, R2D2, Yoda, Natalie Portman) before settling on Ahsoka for our daughter. Why? Because it was pink and she would put it on. Plus she got a lightsaber.
The kids:
Everyone by mom:
my wife and I:
Almost the whole family
Our neighborhood does a parade/party and the kids were generally terrified of me. Some cried. Most ran. A few eventyually were brave enough to have their picture taken with me. All in all it was a blast. Not sure if it will be possible to top this one next year.
Hope you all enjoy.
