Halloween 2019 || Eiban Family Celebration

Well, Halloween 2019 looked a lot different than years past, thanks to a huge storm that hit Central Virginia! We dressed up, got some photos, and knocked on a handful of neighbors doors before the rain started, we headed home and instead watched Harry Potter. So, while it looked a little different than our traditions years past, it was still fun, and plenty of memories made!

We let Emmie pick the Halloween costumes for her & Sully this year- she has been loving watching the Avengers Movies with Michael the past few weeks, and picked Black Widow for herself, and Captain America for Sully. I’ll admit, I had never even heard of Black Widow before, but we found a costume and the kids looked adorable. Sully hated wearing his mask, but after some persuasion, we got a few photos with him wearing it. And by persuasion, I mean, pinning him down and very quickly snapping photos ;)

Happy Halloween from our Little Mermaid!

We had such a fun weekend- starting with the Fall Festival that Emmie's school puts on! This is always such a blast- and is a really great excuse for the kids to wear their costumes another time! ;) They set up all these fun different stations, have pony rides, face painting, games, snacks, etc! 

Then we went to a friends house and went trick-or-treating! Emmie LOVED it! And pretty much ate her weight in chocolate and lollipops- and still has an entire basket! 

Emmie was SO excited about going to Kaitlyn's house- and she asked from the moment we woke up, through lunchtime and of course, the entire ride in the car to their house. The kids ran to each house and were SO stinkin cute being so excited about all of their candy and costumes!!

We had the best time celebrating Halloween this year! Emmie FINALLY decided on a kitty cat costume, after debating about 4 million other ideas. ;) Her preschool threw such a fun fall festival where we got to dress up, paint pumpkins, play games, pet bunnies that weighed as much as her, meet THE princess Anna, and even go on pony rides! She LOVED it!

 I took the day off of work, and she adored running errands with me in her kitty cat costume. We went to lunch (Poke-E-Joes! Lynchburg and Central Virginia friends- you MUST eat here! A local favorite!!)  She even asked some random guy on the street downtown Lynchburg... why he "didn't tell me i looked cute in my kitty cat costume." hahaha think she heard that a lot on Friday?! 

This below is probably my favorite picture of the day. One of Emmie's best friends at school is  a boy (yes... Mike HATES this!!).  They totally looked like they planned their outfits to go together, but didn't.  Then they went trick or treating through the administration offices holding hands like this! So precious! 

Then of course I had to get some photos of just Emmie in her costume.  She loves getting in front of the camera these days... especially when there's a candy bribe! ha. 

And, this is a family photo from trick-or-treating! Just with my iPhone, but still wanted to share! :) I made the decision to not bring my camera to trick-or-treating and it was SO nice to be in the moment and enjoying it! It's all about balance! ;) 

How was your Halloween! Did you or your family dress up as anything fun?!
