Halloween 2011 (and 17 months!)

It's hard to believe it's already been a year since last Halloween and thinking about how much has changed in the last year. Micah was a mere 5 months and the cutest little pumpkin and peapod ever :) And here we are again, dressing the sweetie in the most adorable lion costume. Thank you, Katie, for letting us borrow the costume!

Christian was helping to get Micah in the mood at breakfast for the trick or treating that would happen later on in the day:) Micah has really begun to mimick us, and enjoys when we also try to copy him and it's been fun to watch this change.

Micah practicing his ferocious roar before heading in to the nursing home. Thankfully he was more like the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz, therefore not scaring any of the nice people handing out candy!

Micah getting ready to trick or treat at the nursing home, roaring like a lion, hanging with his buddies Jack, Cole, Jed, Max and Dash, and completely enamored by the life-size cow!

After the nursing home visit, we headed to our home to get Christian and then over to the Koss' house for our (becoming) tradition of dinner and candy. Although a little chaotic with 6 kids (only one of which was mine - from 3 families!) it was also a great time of seeing the kiddos dressed up and enjoying each other's company! Thanks Kate and Steve for hosting again!

What a sweet lion we have :)

The actual trick-or-treating festivities. I just love the pics of Micah walking with Christian as well as the sweetness of his face in his expressions. You would never have known based on his expression when looking up (although if Christian had captured mine, it would have been a different story:)) that there were literally hundreds of disgusting geese flying over our heads!! Happy Halloween:)
