Watch us grow!
It’s Alice’s Birthday AND Halloween today. Uncle Johnny prepared some fun activities as part of the birthday celebration.
Take a look at these balloon animals!!
We all sang “Happy Birthday” to Alice and then headed out for some Socially Distant Trick-or-Treating.
The neighborhood moms planned a scavenger hunt and doors were decorated. Candy was left out in buckets at the door front too.
They all made out like bandits tonight!!
It’s Halloween and the kids were ready! Here is a drawing that Janie made at school earlier this month.
She also wrote something on the fridge this morning.
This year, they dressed up as kangaroos. These were some super comfy costumes and they got to carry a stuffy in their pouches.
Before the neighborhood started trick-or-treating, we went to the local shopping center to go door to door at the stores.
Then the kids all gathered outside our house and then took off!
Peanut’s buddy, Ethan, joined us again this year.
The neighbor boys, Gavin and Collin, also came along.
We were out until dark and the house lights were all on.
Some houses went all out!!
The kids came home with quite a load of candy this year!
This will have been their 5th year of coordinated outfits. So cute!!!
The kangaroo costumes came in the mail today and the kids tried them on. They were so comfy they didn’t want to take them off.
It’s Halloween and the kids had a kung fu theme this year.
Here we have Bruce Lee.
And here we have Chun Li from Street Fighter.
The kids really embraced their roles and had a lot of fun going trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.
Peanut’s buddy Ethan also joined us and they all came home with lots of loot.
Here’s our house and Gavin’s house all decorated for the evening.
Dada worked from home today so he was able to drop by Janie’s school to bring her her costume and watch the Halloween parade at her school in the afternoon.
Immediately after, we all met up at Peanut’s school for his parade.
Our photo from Peanut’s Halloween parade came back! So cute!
It’s Halloween and there was a parade and trick-or-treating at Peanut’s school. He brought his costume and shared it with his class.
Janie got picked up early from school so that she could join in on the festivities. She was Mama’s little helper and passed out stickers to all the kids.
Here come’s Peanut and his class!!
Here’s Zoe in her Wonder Woman outfit!
Peanut did a great job staying in line with his class!
Here are the Paw Patrol pups, ready for action! Peanut was Rubble and Janie was Everest.
This evening would be the kids’ first time trick-or-treating and buddies Henry and Hudson came over to join us! We had pizza together and then went out to get some candy!
Our neighborhood was filled with kids and lots of houses were giving out candy.
They had a blast! Alameda is a great place for these kids.
We went to Disneyland for Mickey’s Halloween Party this evening. Uncle Johnny got us all tickets and everyone was so excited!!
Peanut had a really fun time on the tram ride over to the park. This little boy was SO ready for more rides.
Uncle Johnny brought his lightsabers and the girls went for them right away.
Our first mission of the night was to get all the way to Toon Town for the pre-party.
There was a bit of a wait before the party so we spent some time hanging out in front of It’s a Small World.
We dressed up as Stich, Nani, Lilo, and David (not pictured). Dada was busy getting us a big fried turkey leg.
The girls scored a big bag of popcorn and were grinning from ear to ear.
Once the party started, the girls went to the Trick or Treat stops and picked up some candy.

Then they visited Donald and Mickey for autographs and photos.
Janie was willing to get autographs but she wanted to keep her distance from each of the characters.
Peanut’s favorite ride was Dumbo.
He loved feeling the wind in his face and watching the lights and the rest of the world spinning.

If you listen carefully, you can hear him say “wow”.
Meanwhile, Janie went on the carousel with Dada.
By about 9pm, Janie and Peanut was asleep but Alice powered through a few more rides and lots of pictures with the princesses.
What a fun night!!
After Peanut’s nap, the kids changed into their Halloween costumes before heading to Disneyland. Aren’t they so cute together?!
This year, Janie dressed up as Piglet. Mommy made her costume and it turned out ok.
She didn’t really know what to expect this year so we took her to the Halloween Festival in Cerritos instead of going trick-or-treating.
She carried her treat bag around like a big kid and did a great job with the games and everything.
Alice slept through the games and we were lucky to find this Winnie the Pooh in the game area.

She also wanted to pose for a funny family photo.
Toward the end, Alice woke up and joined us for a group photo.
On the walk back to the car, Alice and Janie hung out on the grass to get a few Tigger and Piglet pictures.
Happy Halloween!
