A Cupcake Baker and Joey Votto

For Halloween this year, Myla was a cupcake baker and Luke went as Joey Votto.  Myla's outfit was inspired by the contestants on Cupcake Wars, which was one of her favorite shows at the time.  She was also excited about the fact that I told her we could make cupcakes to go with her costume.  Luke was still a little young this year to have much say in his costume, so we picked Joey Votto because 1) we had most of the stuff already, 2) the Reds were having a good season so we were in the spirit, and 3) he looked really cute with eye black.  See for yourself!

The Halloween festivities included a trip to Zoo Boo and our usual trick-or-treat outing with friends in the Johnson's neighborhood (sadly the last one, as they've now moved!).  This was the first year that Myla seemed like a big kid, running from house to house with her friends the Smokers, and generally acting crazy and having a great time.  It was so much fun to see.

I've pulled a few of my favorite pictures here; check back Monday for a full slide show.
