Happy Halloween!

The 1st annual Ruiz family Halloween Party was held at our house. Everyone came over and some of us took the kids out trick o treating. I couldn't have asked for better weather. It was so nice and warm. If we would have let them, I think they would have went on for hours, but after an hour or so, we decided their bags were full enough. Earlier in the day, I took the girls to Macy's our local grocery store and they had trick o treating in the store. Sophia was impossible. I thought that she would just put the candy in her bag since she couldn't open them, but oh no, paper or not, she was going for it. She would bite staight through the wrappers until she got what she wanted. Same went with trick o treating. She wanted to eat it as soon as she got her hands on it. All the cousins together. They all did a great job with their costumes.
Miss Raquel (Dorothy) and Miss Gabriela (Tinkerbell)

Because of the weather, Julianne was able to go with us and was a perfect angel in the stroller. She was our little cavewoman.








I dressed up as a Rodeo Queen and Miguel...Michael Phelps.

I love this guy for his bravery and willingness to just let go and have some fun. I've been anticipating this costume for a month and it was well worth the wait. Everyone couldn't stop laughing at him and his bare chest. He even shaved his chest for the event. Way to go Amor!

Julianne and her cousin Julieta. Julianne is crying because I sat her down. Typical


Happy Halloween 2008!

You guys are great! Miguel, new respect for you for the sweet costume. I love Sophia's halloween look, your mom and you both have amazing talent. Juliane looked so cute, and of course Gabriela's a doll. We still need to get tinkerbell and Peter Pan together... maybe we could do a tinkerbell movie party and have them dress up. (Alli's getting the new tinkerbell movie for her birthday, that would be a fun play date on a cold day)

Miguel you are brave--impressive. I love the costumes and I especially enjoy how much fun you have dressing up and just enjoying the process. So fun! Hopefully we'll see you in a few weeks. We're excited!!!
