Halpin Halloween Highlights!!!

After seeing the darling pictures of Amie's girls over the past few Halloween's I decided to pull out our photos.  I wasn't able to find all of the years, but most of them are here.  I can't believe how fast time flies.  I just love looking at these pictures...it brings back so many great memories.

Here are the two best buddies ... Batman & Robin.  We were living on Locust Lane at the time.  This is by far my FAVORITE picture!!!

This was 1996.  We were living in Sugarhouse.  Chandler was in his first year of pre-school, and Alec was excited to go and watch Chandler's Halloween parade.


1997:  Our first Halloween at our new home in Bountiful.  We were so excited to have a house that was our very own.  Todd was actually flying home from somewhere this Halloween, and the boys got lots of comments from people at the airport. (That was back in the days where you were allowed to wait at the gate for your loved one to come home.)  Who would have ever known how much time Todd would be spending at the Salt Lake Airport back then...

1998: Chandler was in Kindergarten.  He was by far the cutest Court Jester in the class!!


Same year, Alec was in his 2nd year of pre-school.  He was a sweet treat that year!!!
1999:  Our first Halloween with Pirate Jack!!!  Chandler's Dracula looked more like Eddie Munster.  Alec was such a scary Skeleton.

This was either 2001 or 2002.  I haven't been able to find a couple of years worth of pre-digital photos.  Here are my superheros.  I had to get at least one more good year out of the Batman costume.  

2003:  We had moved from Bountiful to SLC, and were living in an apartment at this time while we were finishing our house.  This was the week that Todd's wonderful Aunt Diane passed away.  We were at her viewing this Halloween, so my sister Claudia & her husband Brian took the boys trick-or-treating for us.  The girl in the picture is my niece Hailey.  We miss you Aunt Diane :)

2005:  Jackson was in 1st grade, Alec was in 6th, and Chandler was a big 7th grader.  

same year, I love this picure of Jackson.  I think the eyebrows made the costume!!!

2006:  Chandler and Alec wanted to trick-or-treat, but didn't want to get dressed up.  This was the best I could do with 2 unwilling participants.  Alec actually told people he was a hunter.  I do have to say, I love the Nacho Libre costume on Jackson.

There are more pictures from the past 2 Halloweens that I will post later, but we want to wish you all a wonderful Halloween.  Love, The Witch & The Rocker
