Halloween 2015

We had our annual gathering at our house for dinner before trick or treating around the neighborhood. Everyone looked so cute in their costumes. Ava was Elsa, Gavin with Batman, Atticus was Robin but everyone kept thinking he was Robin Hood. Not quite. Connor's costume was great too. He was Gandolf the Grey from the Lord of the Rings.
Leah, Jason, and Finnley were bikers out in Florida. We missed them but were so glad to see how cute they all looked.
