I really love the Holiday Season, and for me, Halloween marks the beginning of it. I start decorating with fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving decorations (most of these are the same) at the end of September or the beginning of October and I try to plan a fair amount of fun activities to do with the kids and family. Last year my brother, Dave, & sister-in-law, Mary, bought a season pass to Thanksgiving Point's corn maze. They told me how much fun they had and they used it several times, so it was really worth it. To make it even better, they had bought it through a online deal site so it was really cheap! I wanted to buy one for 2011 because I thought the kids would really enjoy it, but when I went to go buy it through Groupon, it was already sold out! I was really bummed! Hopefully I can buy them in 2012. Here are some pictures of some of the things we were able to do.
Steven was a tiger for Halloween this year. This costume was made by my awesome husband when he was in high school for his younger brother. A few of the grandkids in Josh's family have worn it now. Here's Steven holding the pumpkin he picked out at a pumpkin patch we went to.

We went over to Josh's parents' house before trick-or-treating so they could see the kids in their costumes. Sofia was a lady bug

I didn't get any pictures while the kids were out trick-or-treating, unfortunately. It was a really nice night, though, and the kids had lots of fun! Steven understood what Halloween was this year and was really looking forward to it for quite a while. Sofia wanted to walk the entire time, hold her pumpkin pail (which got pretty heavy towards the end), and also wanted to keep up with the older kids. It was fun to see them both so enthusiastic about it! :)
Steven with the vampire teeth he got while trick-or-treating. He loved those!
Sofia didn't quite get how to wear these properly but really enjoyed trying :)

Love Sofia's hair and costume! You should crop that one of where she is looking back over her shoulder and do some fun effects with it! It's fun that Steven has been able to carry on the family tradition of being a tiger!
