We had busy weekend and we were glad to have lots of time for Halloween fun today! We were able to visit some special family members in the late afternoon and join some great friends for a festive Halloween dinner and trick-or-treating in a large group tonight. Ella chose to be a dairy princess, so she was a perfect escort for our cute little cow, Claranna. James was a very handsome race car driver. Mark and I wore our best farm hats and clothes to complete our mainly farm theme. It was a fun time!
The kids collected lots of treats and Mark and I can't wait to eat them up for them. Shh....don't tell the kids! It was really fun for all of us to get to hang out with our friends. By the end of the evening, Claranna figured out that people were giving her candy and she was not so happy that we were taking it away from her. We walked a total of eight blocks, which was plenty since the temperature dropped pretty quickly and someone had to carry Claranna nearly the entire way. Thanks to our early start, the kids were wore out and settled in for bed by 8 p.m.. It was a perfect ending to a great day!
I'm also going to share a couple of pumpkin pictures. This year, Ella carved her pumpkin by herself. She really impressed us! James and Mark created a fancy skull pattern while Claranna and I made a more traditional "kitty" pumpkin. The pictures are a little out of order tonight, but I'm too tired to fix them!
