Hogwarts Halloween and Fall Fun

Anyone who knows me knows that Halloween is not my favorite holiday. I don't mind the dressing up (in fact it is so fun to see the kids enjoying it so much!) and parties are fun, but I really dislike Trick-or-Treating. So we minimized that part of the holiday and enjoyed the other festivities, especially Uncle Jason's party. The kids loved our Harry Potter theme and looked great!

Mike as Ron Weasely
Liz as Hermione Granger
Nathan as The Boy Who lived
and cute little Megan as Ginny Weasely
I was Professor McGonagell (or Gonagell as Megan would say) and Brian was Dumbledore. The kids were thrilled!

The four or five days before Halloween were quite wintery, but the day of Halloween was beautiful out. We were able to clean up leaves in the yard. The kids enjoyed making a large pile and jumping. So much fun!
