Happy Halloween-2008!

The Quijano's LOVE Halloween! We had a great time as always. Frank's Aunt Cilia had a party at her house and we all had a great time getting dressed up, trick or treating, playing games and dancing.

I had our family costumes all planned out but Amelia had other ideas. I wanted the boys to be Mariachi's and the girls to be Spanish dancers. Amelia was OK with the idea but then she decided she wanted to be Tinker Bell. One day when she was with her Grandma Rosie she asked Grandma Rosie to take her to Target and what do you know, they had Tinker Bell Costumes and she came home with one! We compromised and she was Tinker Bell at her school parade and a Spanish Dancer on Halloween night. She also decided to be a ghost for a few minutes on Halloween which was easy enough to do. So much for family theme costumes. At least I can get away with planning Elliott's costumes for another 2 years.

Elliott was the cutest Mariachi you have ever seen! Grandma Rosie was Lucy, Grandpa was a Scarecrow, Aunt Bonnie was Katrina, Uncle Eddie was a sick looking old guy and Uncle Eric and Cousin Daniel were Pirates. There were so many great costumes I can't show them all.

Amelia had her school Halloween parade on October 30th and all the kids looked so good in their costumes. It was a great Halloween this year we look forward to next year!
