In the past few years, Halloween has become, like, my favorite holiday ever. OK, aside from Christmas. And my birthday.

I mean, what other excuse is there to be shamelessly hoochified in the middle of fall?

Here’s a look at some Halloween memories from years back:

2005

Troop 69
I loved this costume, despite not being able to find green Girl Scout berets and having to settle for red Communist ones. I had lots of cookie boxes but lost them all on the dance floor. It was a good night.

2006

Team 69 (Clever, huh?)
Although these costumes were store-bought (so unclever) and were the cause of major camel toe, we still felt relatively hot.

And now … 2007

KNOCKOUTS! (Get it?)
This year, we were all super busy and needed to pull something together quickly. So, voila! We took about a gazillion pics this Saturday, but not one of them turned out normal. I kept trying to make this mean face, but I ended up just looking constipated or possessed. This one’s the least scary of the batch (Jess was there, too!).

Of course, I still don’t think anything can beat this:

Arizona, 2006.

Good times.

I love Halloween!
