SuperCousins Halloween 2011

We had an amazing time trick-or-treating at Emily’s house Monday night with our kiddos! Here was the fabulous SuperCousins Offspring trick-or-treat lineup:

Our littlest tricker, Jonah:

Lovely Lily, in her 2nd year of costumed cuteness:

Captain SAMerica, who apparently was so busy that this was the best pic we could get of him all night:

My little Minnie Mouse, Sophie:

The dazzlingly wicked Kate:

My big boy, Joshua (as Ash the Pokemon trainer):

And our whole cute cousin crew:

We had the best time. This is such a fun family tradition for us! The kids were all so excited, so good, so sweet, so cute, so thankful – it was a blast! I can’t wait ’til next year. What did your kids dress up as for Trick-or-Treat?
