Happy Halloween!

Heidi was Cinderella.

Emma was a monkey.

Halloween festivities started Thursday when Heidi had a Halloween party at school. They were encouraged to wear their costumes and the party was at the end of the day. Rachel and I went to the party as well. They played Halloween themed games, made a Halloween place mat, read a Halloween story, and had Halloween cookies.Heidi with some of her classmates

Saturday, our neighborhood had their annual Halloween party in one of the cul-de-sacs. Despite the drizzly evening, there was a good turn out. One of Emma's classmates, Morgan, was there and they enjoyed playing together. And Heidi's friend Natalie was also there.Morgan, Emma & Heidi

After leaving the neighborhood party, we returned home and Jason took the girls trick-or-treating on our street. They went to some of the houses on our street (about 6-8) which was enough with the rain and the fact that none of us need to eat the candy. :-)Soggy monkey and soggy Cinderella enjoying one of their favorites - lollipops

Rachel slept through all of the festivities. She didn't even make it in to her Halloween sleeper outfit. She'll just have to wait 'til next year and make her costume debut. But I did take this picture Thursday.Now that Halloween has come and gone, 53 shopping days 'til Christmas! :-)
