Halloween

It was a different kind of Halloween this year...

We met at the cousin's house to eat and take pictures.

That has been a tradition since Brooks was a baby.

But the big kids are getting so old now that they have their own agendas.

So after we all ate and took a few pictures...

the big kids headed their separate ways to hang with their friends, 

while the little kids trick-or-treated together.

 I did not even get a picture of Beck in his full on costume on Halloween night...

and I'm pretty sure we lost the glasses after the first 5 minutes!

but here is one that I posted a few weeks earlier.

He is DJ Lance from Yo Gabba Gabba!

(isn't that his name? ha!)

Beck loves him some yo gabba gabba!

Beck and Aunt Amber

The nerd

seriously - I sent her to Aimee's house - 20 minutes before we were supposed to meet for dinner.

Thank the Lord for sweet Aimee that set her up with a great costume!

All 10 of the grandkids on Derek's side

If Beck couldn't get in the car...

well... he just climbed right on on top!

Cute picture...

but I CANNOT believe that I didn't get a picture of the 4 kids together!

I guess I didn't have the energy to chase Mr. Beck down!

Halloween is just a crazy night and everyone is high on sugar!

Brooks just came straight from the driving range..

no costume for him this year...

except it is a big surprise that he is wearing an Ole Miss hat!

(side note: Derek and Brooks had the fabulous opportunity to attend the TEXAS/ Ole Miss game..

so Brooks is just a little about the hoddy toddy! (is that how you say it Alison? :) )

and this is the point where mom rolled out to drive the bigs to their plans...

so the pictures take a turn for the worse at this point - 

while dad is in charge! ;)

But evidently...

looks like Beck got the hang of trick-or-treating!

It was a super fun night!

You just wonder what in the world was going through Beck's little mind.

He must think we are crazy!

Sometimes I just think....

if he could go back to Ethiopia and tell all the crazy things about America!

It would probably be really funny!
