Halloween

Halloween was neat this year. Ian dressed up as Darth Vader and Anna went as Super Girl. Both kids looked so cute in their costumes!



This year we opted to take the kids trick-or-treating at a local mall where the store employees pass out candy. It was a safe environment, we didn't have to worry about bundling up in jackets, or being out after dark. The kids loved it.

Anna was really apprehensive about taking the candy from the hands of the store clerks but she got the hang of it. And she'd even say thank you in her own little way - she makes a noise where she actually sounds as if she is saying thank you but can't say the words yet. And then she'd give her famous backward wave. Ian was not only excited to collect candy but to scope out everyone else's costumes.

We stopped at Gram & Pop Bob's house as well as Nana & Papa Willard's house so the kids could trick-or-treat. By the time we got home the kids were wiped out! Fun was had by all.
