Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's trick or treating we go.....

I love Halloween. We've had a fun weekend celebrating the holiday. On Firday Sandra had a fun party. We dressed up and the kids decorated cookies, played games and watched a Halloween movie. On Saturday we went to a community gathering in the afternoon. That night we went to the Calgary Philharmonic's "Spooktacular". It was THE BEST!! We decided it will be our new family tradition. The audience and the orchestra members dress in costume and the music is all "Halloween themed". The orchestra was great and there was a violinist that was absolutely amazing!! I couldn't believe how talented he was. They played some favorites like Phantom of the Opera, monster mash and purple people eater. We had so much fun and the kids loved it as well. It's definatley a must see. Already a great Halloween and still 2 more days until the actual celebration!! Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Snow White and her Dwarf (Doopey, Happy or Grumpy depending on his mood:-)

As you can tell Carter is Audrey's "prop" again this year. I guess this will happen until he is old enough to protest. I love the way that his costume turned out (thanks Mom and Sandra....I really need to learn to sew!) Audrey gets a big grin whenever anyone tells her she looks just like the real Snow White.

I think Dave's snack bar costume was very clever. It also came in handy during intermission at the concert! I love this apron that my Aunt gave me and think it is to cute to just wear in the kitchen so a baker was the perfect excuse to wear it out on the town. (Carter stayed home with a sitter so that is why he is not in the picture. Maybe next year)
