Belated Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year, complete with Halloween party hosted at our own apartment.  Arek and I decided to dress as Shrek and Fiona and I worked for several weeks on Arek's and my costumes.  I think they turned out pretty good.  Unfortunately the picture of just the two of us turned out super blurry.  But we got a good one of us with Julie, who loved wearing the same Snow White costume that I wore when I was her age.  
Aren't we adorable?  :)
 
He'll hate me for spilling the beans, but I have to brag about Arek's fantastic job at the detail work on my dress.  That's right... after I sewed the gold trim around my waist and neckline, Arek glitter-glued the amazing flower/swirl pattern onto the front and back of my dress. It turned out so well, and made the dress look just like Fiona's.

The night after our Halloween party was our ward trunk or treat.  Julie had a blast and got tons of candy, both that night and on actual Halloween.  They definitely learn fast how to work the candy system!  Here she is again in as her cute "Snow White princess" as she called her costume





Julie LOVED her pumpkins this year.  Here are the two she got to help carve. 

And here are the three Arek and I carved while she was sleeping



Hope you all had wonderful Halloweens!
