Happy Halloween!

Naomi and Eliza are the cutest babies in the entire world... especially when they are dressed as the tortoise and the hare!!! How cool is it to have twins on Halloween? Oh the costume possibilities - Thing 1 and Thing 2, Two Peas in a Pod, etc, etc, etc. Anyway, we loved the idea of having our babies dress like adorably soft animals. I found the turtle costume online and l-u-v- loved it. And that's how we settled on the tortoise and the hare.

Today, we visited Gramma Dot, Aunt Mimi, Aunt Doris, Uncle Bob and Aunt Edna, Gram and Grampy, Uncle Shan and Aunt Annie, Becca, Aunt Lib and Uncle Dave, Claire, David Jr, Ellie, Annie, Mamaw and Poppy, many of Mamaw and Poppy's neighbors, Aunt Becky and Uncle Todd, Andrew and Jocelyn, & Aunt Annette. The girls were amazing - we started at 2pm and got home after 9pm. They smiled and played the whole day, even in their costumes. So here are some snapshots from Naomi and Eliza's Trick-or-Treat World Tour 2008.

Naomi = bunny, Eliza = turtle

All the pictures of the girls on the bench were taken at Gram's.




Here is Naomi patiently waiting to trick-or-treat at Gramma Dot's house. Yes, she is sitting shotgun in the Subaru.


Naomi, eating the toy Gramma gave her as her "treat"


Eliza didn't mind waiting - she got to sit in the driver's seat.


Our last stop was Aunt Becky and Uncle Todd's house, where we decided that it might be fun to have the tortoise and the hare actually race on Aunt Becky's beach towel... Look the tortoise is winning!

I don't know if anyone won the race in the end. After all, they only know how to scoot backwards. Neither baby can crawl forward yet. However, they are super cute when they get up on all fours and rock back and forth.

What fun! I'm sad that I missed the 'race'! Good job choosing the costumes (the tortoise costume cracks me up!)
