'Incredible' Halloween








Upon Aaris's request we were the Incredible's family for Halloween this year. God has a sense of humor because I was actually able to find the whole family set for sale by another family on Craig's list...otherwise it wouldn't have been financially possible. God just must have thought we would look so fun all dressed up in tights. :) And, with the fabulous help of my mother, the costumes were able to fit us all. We ended up being in Grapevine this year because we needed to be at the Dallas Cowboys game the next day by late morning. So, I and the kids flew up with my in-laws in their plane he pilots and got there early evening Friday. Aaron drove up after work. Aaron's brother, Alan, his wife, Kristina, and my niece, Cosette, just finished getting their new custom home built and had just moved in on Monday. We stayed with them. It is just a beautiful big home that we were all able to enjoy together. The weather was gorgeous and we had a great time relaxing and hanging out. The kids spent Saturday morning learning how to take pictures with my camera, so I added some of their shots into the slide show. Aaron's younger brother, Adrian, also came in that day with a friend to go to the game with us the next day. Alan, Kristina and Cosette live next door to a neighborhood full of million dollar homes, and that is were we took the kids trick-or-treating. My kids were of course Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack (yes, Skylyn went as a baby boy to fit into character), and Cosette was an adorable mad scientist. The adults had a great time enjoying the weather and enjoying the breathtaking homes. The kids had the best time getting all the awesome candy. These people were handing out full sized candy bars of the 'good stuff', and even some gormet sugar cookies!!!! It was a blast. Even Skylyn enjoyed getting to pick out her candy at the doors. Almost everyone commented on our costumes and told us we won the best costumes award. When we got home Skylyn also decided that that night was the first time she was going to start standing up all by herself in the middle of the floor. Maybe she was filling a little incredible. Afterwards when all the kids were stuffed with candy, worn out and asleep we were joined by some more great cousins of Aaron's, C.C. and Kimmy, and we got to enjoy a fun Texas Longhorns football game. It really was an incredible Halloween.
