Our kids celebrated their first American Halloween in-style this year. We joined some friends and their 3 kids so they could show our Ethiopians the trick-or-treating ropes. The entire extravaganza only lasted about 1 hour, and it was mostly successful [minus the creepy 8-year-old boy slinking around in a skeleton costume who scared the living daylights out of Judah...enter momma bear. I almost beat the crap out of that kid...and his parents]. Enjoy some pictures of our cutest little monkey and lion...

This little monkey was equally stoked about her costume
and confused about why we kept insisting she make monkey noises. |
 |
| Judah the Lion [cliche but it really had to happen] and his buddy "Greg" from In 'n Out. Hehe. |
 |
| A little pre-game warm-up. |
 |
| Halloween in SoCal = Sandled feet. |
 |
| Can we all say together, "DADDY'S GIRL!" |
 |
He made a mean "ROAR!" all night.
Judah the Lion also insisted in walking inside every stranger's house when they gave him candy. No bueno. He did a great job saying, "Trick or treat" and "Thank you" to every good neighbor. |

| She's one happy monkey with a blue headband. |

Being pushed around the neighborhood in her own car. She was committed to driving.
This was also the point in the trick-or-treating where she just got real tired and must've wondered, "What are these crazy Americans doing?!" |

Since we don't give our kiddos candy, Brian and I immediately divided the spoils between the two of us. Hehe. We saved back a few items as potty rewards for our yet-to-be-potty-train son.
All in all, a very fun first Halloween as a family.
