The 4th Annual Halloween/Birthday Bash was a resounding (correct me if I'm wrong) success again this year! Everyone really stepped up the costumes, which was surprising since last year's costumes were so excellent as well.

Here are a selection of costumes in no particular order. Apologies if your costume isn't here...it's not that I didn't think it was great, I just didn't get a good picture of it. [A special apology to Paul: I'm really sorry I didn't get a picture of your costume. It was the most awesome one you have worn and I was feeling too much joy seeing you in it to remember the camera.]

Hands down the best children's costume (sorry Owen)

Mario, Luigi and Toad!  This picture doesn't do Owen's costume justice. Katie made all the parts for it and it was fantastic.

The youngest (as far as we know?!) participant in the Halloween festivities.

I think he likes her.

We sure do love you.

Wearing what amounts to a white wife-beater and a baby blue sweat suit, Owen is channeling his Italian heritage. All he needs now is some chest hair and a few gold chains and he is set.

Owen was actually awake for most of this football game and he loved every minute of it! Grandpa Mike was very excited to have Owen there.

Judge won heartilly, btw.
