First Halloween in Ohio

Happy Halloween, everyone! Our Halloween celebration in Ohio began on Saturday with a little dress rehearsal...

Sammy the red race car

and pumpkin fun...

which included carving a small pumpkin or two!

And playing with the fun Halloween toys that Nonna sent!

Then that afternoon, we went to Montgomery's Pumpkin Walk...in the park behind our home! Do you like Brie's Dora pajamas that she chose for her costume?

They even had trick-or-treating in the forest! Sammy and Brie had a blast.

And then there was tonight: the festivities kicked off at Sammy and Brie's buddy Brenna's home where we ate pizza and other yummy things. You need proper energy for trick-or-treating, right?!

Sammy, Charlotte, Brenna and Brie--good eats and conversation!

Getting ready to head out!

This precious pumpkin is Charlotte's baby brother Ben!

All set, Dad!

Sammy knew the drill and Brie would yell, "Treat!"

 "Look what we got!"

 Fun!!

Back at the house, the kiddos really enjoyed the fruits of their trick-or-treating labor.

Yay, for Halloween 2012!

 And here's a look back at Halloween's past...lots of good memories!!

Halloween 2009

 Ten-month-old Sammy had three costumes: a pumpkin, a dalmatian...

 and Yoda!

 Halloween 2010

Three-month old Brie wore Sammy's costume (which was previously Cousin Colin's costume) and Sammy was the Karate Kid! "Hi-ya!"

 Halloween 2011

Little Miss Candy Corn AND Thomas the Train??  What a great combination!

Halloween 2012

Sammy the red car and Brie the Dora fan. Need we say more??

Happy haunting, everybody!!
P.S.  My cousin Laura just sent me pictures of her boys in the pumpkin costume from above. Here are pics of Colin, Sammy, Brie and Declan ALL wearing the same outfit. SOOOO cute! Enjoy!
