While Alyson Hannigan, Alexis Denisof and Satyana made THE cutest costumed celeb family in my book this Hallowe’en season, I think I have to say that Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale and their sons Kingston James McGregor and Zuma Nesta Rock come in a close second on the adorable meter. Here is a photo of the Stefani-Rossdales trick-or-treating on Hallowe’en night:

While it’s plainly obvs that Gavin party-pooped out by NOT wearing a costume, Gwen’s costume (Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl from Toy Story 2) is cute enough for the both of them … if you add the little lizard brothers, well, cuteness abounds. I’m so bummed that Hallowe’en is already over this year … pics as cute as this make me wish Hallowe’en was at least a week long :)

Here are a few adorable photos of Gwen Stefani with her PERFECT family — hubby Gavin Rossdale and sons Kingston James McGregor & Zuma Nesta Rock — enjoying a lovely, sunny day here in a park in SoCal yesterday afternoon:

We haven’t been able to see much of the Stefani-Rossdales here on the blog lately … mainly because Gwen was touring with No Doubt for much of the Summer. I believe her family was on the road with her but that left no time for them to just relax and play on the weekends. It’s crazy that little Zuma Nesta is already 1 years old! It seems like the cute little guy was just born and now he’s already 1. To be honest, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Gwen and Gavin decided to have another child soon … I bet she is desperate for a girl. Whatever the case may be, it’s hard to imagine this little family getting more perfect … but I’m sure they’ll do it.

Here are a couple supercute pics of the Stefani-Rossdale family enjoying a peaceful stroll on a beach in Malibu, CA this weekend just one week after they celebrated the first birthday of their newest child, Zuma Nesta Rock. Here are Gwen, Zuma, Gavin and Kingston soaking up the sun yesterday afternoon:

It’s been really dang hot here in SoCal in the past few days (temps have exceeded 100°F in many parts of the area) so it would make sense that the family would want to spend as much time as possible at the beach. While I would encourage that the little tykes wear some kind of head covering in all that sun, I’m certain they have been swathed in überprotective sunscreen. I’m curious to see how long this little family stays a foursome … cuz I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they began working on their next addition to the family.

Gwen Stefani, currently on tour with No Doubt after taking a few years away from the band, is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Elle magazine. Here is Gwen’s Elle cover along with a few excerpts from her coverstory interview:

On being a mother: “It’s one thing when you have an infant, but when you have this two-or three-year-old going, ‘Mommy, what’s the deal?’ it’s harder. Kingston’s whole thing is, ‘I need, I need.’ He is insane right now. We’re just hoping for the best and that he’s not going to turn out to be a freak, but we’ll see.”

On how her priorities changed from band to family: “I wasn’t even married. Now I’m a wife and a mother of two. It’s a really different role. I always referred to No Doubt as a marriage, because that’s what it’s like to be together for so long and go through what we’ve been through. I can’t really have that relationship with them anymore. My priorities are always going to be my husband and my family now. That’s a huge, huge thing.”

Gwen really does keep things pretty normal … she goes out with her family, she does her thing, she lives her life. She is one of those very famous celebs that never seems to court attention and, yet, she never shies away from it when she gets it. I think it’s been pretty cool watching her mature into the woman she’s become. I remember when I first heard about No Doubt all those years ago … and seeing her now as a wife and a mother of 2, it’s pretty damn awesome that she’s managed to stay pretty much the same down chick she’s always been. After the jump, check out a photo of Gwen with her littlest child Zuma Nesta from her Elle mag photoshoot …

The members of No Doubt (sans drummer Adrian Young) attended last night’s performance of the Cirque du Soleil show LOVE at the Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV and stuck around afterward to meet the entire cast of the show. Gwen Stefani’s eldest child, Kingston James McGregor, joined his mom and her bandmates for the show … the members of No Doubt are in Sin City this week to prep for a “secret show” at Tiger Jam at Mandalay Bay this coming Friday night. Here are a few pics from last night’s fun:

I understand that Gwen sipped cocktails with director Sophie Mueller (who she’s worked with on music videos before) while little Kingston danced thruout the show in his seat … and in his mommy’s lap. It looks as if the whole gang had themselves a great time. LOVE is one of the Cirque shows that I’ve yet to see … I hear it’s fantastic. I wonder if there will be any more No Doubt sightings this week leading up to the show on Friday.

Zuma Nesta Rock celebrated his first Easter with his parents Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale and his older brother Kingston James McGregor on a family outing to grandma and grandpa Stefani’s home yesterday. Here are a few pics of the Stefani-Rossdales at Grandma and Grandpa’s home in SoCal for Easter dinner yesterday:

Aww … looks like good, clean family fun for all. I’m constantly impressed with how well Gwen handles the pitfalls of her fame even while she is juggling her role as mother and protector. She never seems to shy away from providing as normal a home life for her children as she can even tho she is constantly under the watchful eye of the public. She handles her celebrity with grace, it’s very commendable. It’s nice to see that her family was able to get in some Easter fun with her family this weekend. It really looks like Zuma’s first Easter was a great one.

Gwen Stefani spent another weekend in the fun company of her children Kingston James McGregor and Zuma Nesta Rock as mother and sons were spotted enjoying some playtime together with some fun balloons at a park in Beverly Hills, CA. Here are a few photos of Gwen with her sons enjoying one another’s company and all the fun and excitement that balloons can offer:

But, alas, the outing wasn’t all fun for little Kingston James. According to TMZ, he had a run-in with a “known local bully” who proceeded to start an altercation with little Kingston and put a damper on the day’s fun. After the jump, check out a photo of the kiddies roughhousing together …
