Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Annika received this adorable "Butterbean" costume last year from Bestemor (Geoff's mom, Lily), but it was way too big for her little tiny body. This year Bestemor bought her a great monkey outfit, but we discovered that it was too small as we dressed for her costume party at school. I climbed in the attic, dug out the bean costume and cut some holes for her long legs. She LOVED this costume! She kept leaning her face over on the beans like they were her pillows!

After snapping a few photos at home, Geoff and I took her to EAV-O-WEEN in the village. (We live in East Atlanta Village.) She really enjoyed watching all of the other kids, adults, and especially the dogs, in their costumes. Here's a family shot. Geoff and I didn't sport our costumes until we headed to the Monster Bash on Nash Avenue later on in the evening.

Annika and I have a secret guilty pleasure of watching "Yo Gabba Gabba" on Noggin in the evenings. Our friend, Reid, made this awesome costume and dressed as DJ Lance from the show. Annika kept pointing to him and saying, "Daa" for dance. She bobs her head and dances any time she hears the words, "Yo Gabba Gabba"! The friendly faces from left to right are Annika, Geoff, Princess Aubrey, DJ Lance, and Witch Adrienne carrying their newest family member, Abram.

We hope you had a memorable Halloween! Boo!
