Happy Halloween!

Since moving to our subdivision, we've had the tradition of having family and friends over for dinner and trick or treating. The Farrs and Williams joined us this year but the Whites were traveling and unable to make it. Donald was also away for Halloween this year at a conference, so we took lots of pictures and messaged him all weekend. Emily wanted to be a cheerleader, but not just any cheerleader. She wanted to be "a G cheerleader like Daddy likes." She even had special "cheerleader" shoes to go with her getup. Abby was magnificent in her princess dress. Mimi and Amy have strict orders to save this costume so that we can borrow it in the future. On Halloween Eve, we met up for dinner at our house and then Papa and I took the girls out trick or treating while Mimi and Amy manned the trick or treat headquarters. The highlight of the evening was a trip to the pirate house in our neighborhood. Emily's been looking forward to this for months! Eventually, we headed back home where Mimi and Amy had given out of candy. The girls posed for a few pictures and then we turned out the lights to warn away all prospective goblins. We also put out a sign because we've learned in the past that a lack of lights doesn't automatically deter trick or treaters in our neighborhood. Hugh Hefner and his three bunnies came to our house last year but they apparently stayed at the Mansion this year. I think our two girls were definitely the best-dress trick or treaters out there tonight!
