{ boo! }

We had a fairly decisive year when it came to Halloween costumes. Stella went a really original route (heavy sarcasm) with her choice of being Elsa from Frozen.

Oliver went with a fairly standard boy costume and picked being a Ninja. Fairly certain it was based on the fact that he got to carry a sword.

We tried to maximize wear of the costumes - they got to wear them to school and to Kowalskis trick or treating.

On Halloween eve, we had our neighbors over for soup and fixed up hot chocolate and Baileys to take with us as we ventured out to trick or treat. It was a cold year but the kids lasted over an hour and came home with enough candy for a year!
