Yeah... it took me this long to get Halloween on the blog. Busy life...
We had a great time, even though this was our first year all alone. Andy's brother and family used to join us and last year we had a friend and her kids with us. We had Andy's mom, dad and gramma over for dinner which was really nice and then the kids changed into costumes (which I had only just finished up hours before!). The time change was pushed back this year and we didn't realize that it was getting late, but not getting dark. We didn't head out until 6:30 (usually 5:30) and that put us home pretty late too! Andy's dad joined us for the walk around our neighborhood. It was really fun and we ran into a lot of people that we knew. We love where we live, it is sooooo 1950's. We stopped in so that Great Gramma could see the kids in costume and took some breaks to visit with neighbors along the way. When we got home there was just enough time to read a few spooky stories and have a caramel apple before going off to bed. The kids even had to wait to dump out their loot until the next day. They scored and had a great evening!

Ella is so in character...so cute. Look at those hand gestures. Gavin makes a fine pirate. Big bummer we weren't there for trick or treat. Something we were missing very much!
We missed you guys, it's just not the same without you here. We are trying to establish our own new tradition, but it will take a while, I guess. Yeah.. she was a doll and even danced in the moonlight with her (imaginary) prince!
