We started on Friday night and carried the fun all the way through the whole weekend. First up, Jared and I had a 40th Birthday Surprise Costume Party. We thought long and hard about what we should be and decided our best plan of action would be to go as The Jenners!
 |
| We had to spice it up, though, so Jared went at Caitlyn... |
 |
and I went as Bruce. Happy Halloween from The Jenners!
There were lots of good costumes, but one of my favorites was Richard Simmons! |
 |
| Carlos was one of the birthday boys and made the perfect Richard! HA! |
 |
| Caitlyn and the two birthday boys--Richard and Nacho Libre! They were all so great. |
 |
| It was a fun night hanging out with these Cubs mamas. We spent so many days and nights at the ballfields--love them! |
The next day it was time for the kiddos to get in on the fun. While Cameron slept, I did this movie star's hair and makeup. She loved every second of it.
 |
| Presenting Movie Star Lila! |
 |
Jackson didn't have to work too hard to transform into Tony Romo. He did love his authentic football pants with pads in them--very cool. His #1 Cheerleader put up quite a fight while she was being squeezed into her uniform, though. She kept hollering, "tight!"
I told her, beauty isn't easy. |
 |
| By 3:15 they were all dressed and looking good. |
 |
| "Let's go get some candy!" |
 |
| First stop - Meme's house. We saw Papaw, Madison and Aunt Colleen there, too. It's been a long time since Meme has given out candy. We were so happy that Papaw had volunteered to go help her out with that this year. |
 |
| The cutest black cat I ever did see! |
 |
| Next stop - Memaw and Poppi's house. Trick or treat! |
 |
| The kids picked out their candy and then went to find Pete the Cat. |
 |
| Thanks for the goodies, but we gotta keep going! |
 |
| Third stop - Gigi and Boom's house. These kids were getting the hang of it by now. |
 |
| "Big pumkin!" |
 |
| We raced back home, re-curled the Movie Star's hair, and then hosted our street for a Halloween Block party. There was a lot of food, plenty of kiddos and they were all very ready to go trick-or-treating. |
 |
| Cameron and Bella were the two youngest this year. So precious! |
 |
| We set out to trick-or-treat with Cameron in the stroller. Little did I know that it would be her big sister who would need a lift. Poor Lila just didn't have any more gas in her tank. She had stayed up late the night before and then been going non-stop all Saturday. She made it to a few houses and then really started lagging behind. We ended up turning around and coming back home. While we were gone, Aunt Lyndsie and Uncle Scott had arrived from Fort Worth. They were giving out candy to all the trick-or-treaters, so we rang the doorbell and surprised them. I thought our movie star would want to give out candy, but she just didn't have it in her. She was asleep by 8:30--I guess being famous really is hard work! Jackson and his daddy got home around 8:45 and reported a very successful candy-getting night. Hopefully next year all 5 of us can go together. |
 |
| On Sunday, my sweet girly girl was reenergized and ready for a redo! After church, she asked to put on her costume and for me to do her makeup, so I obliged. |
 |
It made both of us happy to see her enjoying her costume finally. Better late than never!
Happy Halloween from our family to yours. Hope everyone had a spooktacular night! |
