Happy Halloween

I hope that everyone had a nice Halloween. This year was so much fun for the whole family. The kids decided pretty early on what they wanted to be. I thought I may get one more year doing some kind of theme costumes, but they had other ideas...but we worked it out. Grace decided on Cinderella, Elaina on Princess Belle, Seth on Buzz Lightyear. So I decided I could be Snow White. Jason was pretty easily convinced to be Woody. The kids got a big kick out us dressing up as some of their favorite characters. Our festivities kicked off a week ago, when on a dark, cold, rainy night we went to Greenfield Village. They did an amazing job as spooking up the village. The costumes were so beautiful. They had several scenes through the village that were very spooky and fun. Of course, the kids had their first school party this year. They had a bunch of fun at that. Yesterday, I allowed them to wear their costumes all day...because why not??? Then for trick or treating, you'd think they were old pros. Running from house to house, making sure the porch lights were on, yelling trick or treat...occasionally, I'd hear a thank you. Seth even had a new trick or treat song he would sing for a few special people. All in all, this will go down as one of the best Halloweens, I think.

They loved the neighbors gargoyle.

To infinity and beyond!!!
