Halloween 2011

We had a MUCH happier Halloween weekend this year and had a full week of fun celebrating more than just a spooky Holiday.  On Saturday we celebrated Annalee's Birthday and since we couldnt bring in the BIG 50 with much joy last year, we decided that we would celebrate the BIG 51 the right way!  Special friends and close family came from near and far and we celebrated in style.  This past year has been probably the most challenging ever for Annalee, my dad, and well...most of the family, so it was awesome for us all to be together to celebrate.

Also Fun was that Yai-Yai came into town for a whole week.  I can't tell you how nice it was to have my Mommy around and Kellan sure loved his special time with her since its not too often  they see each other.

I decided Kellan should be Yoda this year...mostly because it was an easy and cheap costume.  (Daddy doesn't know this, he just thinks i'm super cool for chosing a Star Wars character...he doesn't know that I haven't even seen all the Episodes.) Regardless, Kellan hated his costume and wore it for approximately 5 minutes. His favorite moments of Halloween included ripping the Yoda Hat off his head and throwing it on the floor, passing out candy by the double-fisted handful, and hitting grandpa and Daddy with the Yoda stick thingy. At lease he had some fun. Below are a few pictures captured from Kellan's brief moments as Yoda and a few pictures with Yai-Yai:
