Halloween 2023- A Football Game

So I let the kids mostly plan our Halloween theme this year and they came up with this cute idea. It all stemmed around Tanner wanting to dress up like part of a marching band and then the rest of the kids found ideas that went along with the theme. 
So without further adieu, our 2023 Halloween theme- A Football Game

We have a quarterback, the football coach, a referee, a cheerleader, a marching band member and a fan. 

It was pretty fun and my friend Maleah met us at the high school Stadium to take our group picture. 
I love how it turned out and I'm so grateful to her.

Before we took our group picture, I went ahead and snapped a few of each of my kids in their costumes. 
Benson was the cutest little quarterback ever. 

Bailey was a cute cheerleader. With her past experience with cheerleading, she felt pretty confident in her costume. However, despite the freezing temperatures, she didn't want to wear leggings. Crazy girl!

 

Tucker was such a perfect ref. He took it seriously and even let me teach him a few signs. It was pretty cute. 

This may have been one of Tanner's favorite costumes of all time. 
He absolutely cannot wait to join the high school marching band next school year- so he was so thrilled to wear a marching band uniform. It was pretty cute!

Then tonight, on Halloween, we trick-or-treated our neighborhood and the kids got a surprising amount of full size candy bars. So ridiculous! But of course they were thrilled. 

This year Bailey also met up with her friend Olivia and they went off on their own trick-or-treating. They had a great time. 

We also ran over to Andy's frozen custard to get free sundaes. Any kid in a costume got a sundae so the kids were so happy. 

Then it was back to our house to pass out more candy and to sort and trade. 
It's always so cute to watch the kids sort and trade their candy. This year was no exception. 

We had an awesome Halloween. I feel like Halloween snuck up on me this year because I have been so focused on preparing for our family cruise in November. Well now tomorrow is November first and we leave in just a few days for our cruise. Crazy. 

Anyways, Happy Halloween!
