Happy Halloween!

It was a bone chilling night - I’m not sure it if was because winter suddenly arrived on Halloween here, or if it really was just that cold. Pictures are always so difficult on this night - but we captured a few of our adventure this year. But, as usual, never enough. 

This year, Lyla was “Rainbow Dash”, an interpretation of a Pony from the series “My Little Pony”, and Cade was a neighborhood firefighter. We didn’t know that Cade would also be sporting a shiner on his left eye, thanks to a bathtub fall a couple nights prior…if we’d known, maybe he could have been a boxer or something.

Here are our two beautiful babes:

Trick or treating with Isabella has become Hottman tradition - we were so happy that Kip and Rebecca brought the kids over for a quick dinner, followed by trick or treating with Bodhi and Isabella. 

Note our teal pumpkin sign in the background of this photo - we participated in the Teal Pumpkin Project this Halloween in support of kids with food allergies. I didn’t get a photo of our beautiful teal pumpkin I painted a couple of nights before. 

Here, Lyla insisted that she and Isabella do some dance moves in their costumes: 

Here is the only decent photo I got of the 4 of them before they headed out into the cold night - so much cuteness!

Here is a picture of our crazy neighbor, Glen - the entire Jones family was dressed as the Incredibles this year. It was hilarious. 

We were so happy for the treat of spending Halloween this year with Nan and Nonnie who left their neighborhood to hang out with us. It was so much fun to have them here: 

Never enough pictures - we ended the night with the Sydlowskis, who came over after trick or treat. Unfortunately, no more pictures...

Great friends. Great families. Great neighborhood.

Happy Halloween.
