Happy Halloween!!

We were so looking forward to being stateside for Halloween this year!! Although I can do without the ghouls and goblins, blood & gore type decor kids dressing up and collecting bags full of free candy is pure joy!! From the moment we described Halloween to Annikah she was so excited and would scream with glee at the thought of getting to dress up as something girly AND get free candy. She wore a Tinkerbell dress that my mom found when she cleaned my sister's old stuff out of her room and she was THRILLED! She also got to be together with ALL her cousins in Cedar Rapids!! It was such a blast and I got to use my new camera to capture every door ringing, candy acquiring, sweet moment. My idea of a great day! Happy Halloween!!

The first house we approached she yelled "Hoodi" but soon Joel and Silas showed her the ropes of saying "Trick or Treat" and we ran from house to house as they filled their bags with sugary goodness.

People who go all out for Halloween are hilarious! This house had knights to welcome us!
