Halloween '09

Well, we had a SUPER fun Halloween this year! As we do every year, we ventured over to Grandma Shirley's house to start things off - this time, much earlier than normal. Before heading out to take the kids, we did a family dinner...visiting with friends and eating a yummy turkey dinner (thank you chef Ryan). After we were all sufficiently stuffed and liquored up, the kids got their costumes on and we braved the friggin' ridiculous wind. Ethan was a totally awesome Transformer; "Bumblebee". Leah was fitting in her fairy princess costume. She really did look sweet. We were surprised that she was so willing - she kept everything on and followed her big brother up to each door. Within the first two houses, she got the hang of "twee a tee". Our friends Jim and Katie brought their son Will over as well (he's a few days older than Leah) and we had Hector's daughter Hailey join us too (Hector is Amy's boyfriend...Hailey was dressed as Tinkerbell). They were a cute, cute bunch...and thankfully by the second round of houses, the wind had stopped completely.

The kids were pooped and stuffed on sweets and we had a really fun, fun Halloween. And Baba - I thought you'd enjoy the picture I took of Ryan following along behind Leah. Made me think of your comment about when dad used to take us out...beer in his hand and all. While Ryan didn't have a bottle, he was kind enough to carry his cup.







Fairy princesses are always so darn busy
