Superheros, Princesses and Munchkins

The Ever Expanding Gang
For four years in a row now we have met a group of friends and their kids at our friends, the Davis', home and gone trick or treating. Naturally, we have a group picture of our brood and every year it is funny to see how it has grown. This year we were missing one family and their three little ones, but we did gain a neighbor girl (wonder woman) and two new babies! The little dragon is baby Sam, who is 2 months old, and 10 day old baby Matthew was inside with mama. We seemed to be heavy on the superheros this year:)
Thomas the Tank Engine
It truly is amazing that I snapped this picture of Nikolas actually smiling at the camera. For the last few weeks he has been either screaming, crying, turning away or holding his hands in front of his face every time a camera is pointed at him. FRUSTRATING!!!! So before we headed over I told him that if he didn't look at the camera without hiding or crying then he would have to walk with the kids while THEY trick or treated and HE did not.
Apparently, it worked. He even smiled!
Lukas, the Littlest Puppy
Isn't he adorable??? My good friend, Sheri, made Nikolas this costume when Nik was 19 months old and since Lukas is 21 months it fits him nearly perfectly. Sheri even made Lukas a new collar:)


The Two Troublesome Trios

We have the three big boys; Wyatt, Willie and Nik. Then the three little boys; Nathan, Logan and Lukas. Currently the three little boys just follow the big boys around trying to copy them and generally getting in there way...................and I am thinking it isn't ever going to change......



Cute little puppy

Ohhhhhhh! What a cute group of kiddoes. Who was that kid smiling wearing the Thomas outfit? Wow! And I love that adorable little puppy! OK I'm biased, I admit it!
