Booo!

Starting the Halloween festivities at our house. It's so much more exciting this year. Elena is exploring things and with all the decorations, costumes, activities, etc. that surround Halloween it's been splendid!

We had a family Halloween party for all 18 grandkids in the Luke family. The kids decorated pumpkins (Elena got her own, yeah), played Halloween games (Elena just watched them and I played for her candy), and decorated sugar spooky-shaped sugar cookies (Elena and I just ate the cookies; they were so tasty!).

Here's her costume this year :)
In case you're wondering what's with the ladybugs lately: one of Elena's endearing names is bug and there's just not so many bug options out there. Not to mention that ladybug things are not hard to make and there are lots of adorable ladybug themed things. Don't you think it fits her quite well?? :)
