Halloween 2008

This year for Halloween, we had a slightly melancholy panda (clearly contemplating the recent spike in bamboo prices).


A train. (And I take very little credit for the fabulous costume. This was all Aunt Kathy's creative genius.)


A little German miss, wearing the dirndl I wore when I was her age.


And a teenager (not pictured) who has decided he's too old for the dress up scene and would rather play computer games at a friend's house than make the rounds with his family. Sigh.

I think of all the kids, Nora probably had the most fun. The Halloween concept combines two of her most favorite things in the world: dressing up


and candy.

What's not to love about that?

Too cute! I can't believe how big Nora is getting. Thanks for the update. I've been suffering from Mental Tesserae withdrawl...

It's sad when the kids start getting to old for certain traditions.

I love all the costumes! I, sadly, forgot to take pictures this year of my kids.

Yowsahs, that train is breath taking. I love seeing Nora sitting on the table with her haul.

I miss your blog! It is one of my favorites, but there haven't been any updates in a very long time.
