Happy Halloween!

This year we stayed at home

for Halloween

and again,

taking full advantage of my cousin being in town,

were joined by my

cousins and their families too!

We enjoyed homemade pizza and

finalized costume details before heading out the door!

Is it just me or does Superman look tipsy?

Gabriel's reaction to the whole trick or treating thing

was really funny.

He wasn't scared,

but definitely cautious and maybe even

amused...?

Anyway,

he, like most children,

got over "it" quick.

Free candy is a great incentive for anything!

After all the Halloween Hoop-la,

we were exhausted!

It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving and

Christmas are next!

We can't complain though,

these are memories that will last forever!

H A P P Y  C A N D Y - E A T I N G !

p.s.

I thought I would note that Owen was

thoroughly disgusted with the bowls set out

with a little sign asking everyone to, "Please take one."

He wanted so badly to knock on each door

and announce, "Trick or Treat!"

Without that,

what was the point?

Candy!

Particularly chocolate!

That's always the point, Owen!
