Happy Halloween!

We love Halloween at the Hughes house! I realized this year that I won't ever have pretty and cute Halloween decorations for my house. No, with three boys and a very involved husband I'll always have scary items displayed on the lawn and around the house. We had a house full this year with my mom and Papaw, Aunt Kim, Uncle Shawn and an adorable little ballerina. Pops and Gram were even able to come by for some candy corn pizza and pre-trick-or-treating excitement. Look at all the little cuties!Here's Nana with her little guys. She even joined the fun and dressed up as a punk rocker. Holden LOVED her wig and giggled at it all night long.

We were so glad to have Pops and Gram back from their three week vacation. Aren't all their grandkids just adorable?

Papaw was a trooper and kept watch over the house while we trick-or-treated. I think he got a workout because the doorbell kept ringing; so much so that we even ran out of candy. We love that we live in such a lively neighborhood.

Holden was the perfect little penguin.

This was the first year that Darren and I didn't join in and dress up. I guess we're finally feeling too old to participate.

Spiderman RAN to each house and just couldn't be slowed down.

Elic was so sweet to hold Autumn's hand as they went to the first house.

I'm sure Holden was thinking "What is going on? Why don't I have any candy?"

There's one house on our street that really goes above and beyond. They decorate the whole yard, have smoke machines, and even have spiders crawling on the side of the house. Elic would wave hi to all the creatures and decorations- he wasn't scared one bit.

Holden tuckered out but had a great first Halloween. He actually woke up for a bit when we got back home and even showed off by rolling over for the very first time!!

We love "Me Mouse"!

Look at that haul. We'll have candy in stock until next Halloween.

Elic decided that Junior Mints are not his favorite candy.
We were thankful for the extra hour of sleep so we could recharge our batteries and get ready for another day full of church activities. Happy Halloween everyone!
