Trick or Treat!

What a beautiful Halloween night! Ten times better than the dreary, rainy weather we have had all week. Olivia made a GORGEOUS Cinderella, and Joey was a fierce Darth Vader. He played the part well because he refused to smile in his costume. I often got the look of "what is the deal with dressing up, knocking on doors, and people giving us food?" When we went out trick or treating, he became Darth Elmo, because I forced him to wear a warm hat with his costume.

We had a night full of excitement. First, we went to Jason's work and visited for awhile. All of his colleagues love Livi and Joey and wanted to see their costumes. Then, we went to visit one of Olivia's best friends from church. Miss Joann is an elderly woman at church that loves Livi and Joey. She and Olivia clicked from the start talking about Livi's pretty dresses, painting her nails, and her "pretties." The minute we walk into church Olivia looks for Miss Joann and has to visit with her after church. So we stopped at Miss Joann's house to visit for awhile and show her Livi and Joey's costumes. After Miss Joann's house, we met Grandma and Jim at our house for a pizza party. Grandma and Jim hung out at our house passing out candy. As always, Livi and Joey loved spending time with them! Finally, we went out trick or treating in our neighborhood. We met up with Livi's friend "Jillybean" (aka. Jillian) and walked around with them. Then we headed over to her best friends Colleen, Brooke, and Ashley's house for some play time.

Phewww!!!! What a busy, but very fun night!!!
