Happy Halloween!

This year we decided to do a “brother/sister” costume combo while the kids were still young enough to not really have an opinion about their costumes.  So after much deliberation we settled on a Firefighter and his Dalmatian “fire dog.” (Luke was pretty excited because he has a book that was passed down to him that was Vance’s favorite when he was a little boy, called “Fire Dog”)

I found a cute Firefighter costume online, and made a Dalmatian outfit for Beka to wear. I was pretty proud of how it turned out!

Friday, we went to the hospital to see all of Daddy’s co-workers, and to go trick-or-treating.  Luke loved his costume, and was telling people he was going to be a Fireman when he grew up.

Luke was trying to be a helpful big brother and push Beka around for us!

Here’s our yearly “Halloween picture with Dr. Schnee’s nurse Denise” – we’re going to have quite a collection, this is photo number three in the series!

It was approaching naptime and Beka just couldn’t keep her eyes open (or her socks on – no matter how hard I tried!)

Halloween day, Daddy had to work in Saturday clinic, so we just had a relaxing day at home. Here’s a “Boo” from Beka!

That evening we got our costumes back on and headed up to the hospital to meet Daddy and our friends for our first ever Trick or Treating!  Luke practiced ringing the doorbell and saying “Trick or Treat” at our house before we headed out.

Once we were at the hospital, we met up with our friends. In the pictures is Kylie (surgeon), Cade (doctor), Carter (Scooby Doo), Jacob (Yoda), Dr. Malia, Jeffrey (Darth Vader), Luke, me and Beka.

Luke thought his fireman needed a light saber, so he borrowed Jacob’s!

Luke and Daddy – ready to get some candy!

The crew at one of the houses. We didn’t go to too many houses, it was getting dark and all the kids were pretty tired – especially Beka…

…who fell asleep once again!

Happy Halloween!
