Happy Halloween

This really was the best Halloween yet...

 On Halloween, we were able to go and visit James'

 94 year old Grandma Tami and her sister Elaine.

 The girls are so lucky to have 

two living Great Grandmothes.

 We were also able to go and visit James' other

grandmother Mommy Allo. She turned 96 this year.

The girls loved trick or treating at 

both Senior Living Centers.

They asked Abby to play the piano at Emeritus.  

Abby played a couple of her favorite 

Harry Potter piano pieces.

I was so happy that she was prepared and willing

to play.  She brightened everyone's Halloween day.

 Next stop....Dad's work.  The kids loved going to

see where Dad spends so much of his time.

  We made it home just in time to see 

some of our favorite people on our front lawn.

 We have such a fun neighborhood.  Halloween is my

favorite holiday with our neighborhood.

We have such great friends.

I drove all of these kids around to their favorite houses...

Haunted Houses etc. 

It was fun to hang out with these cool 6th graders.

I had to document that we dressed up this year!

I love my Thing 1!  Happy Halloween!

Today was a momentous day for our family.

If the world was made out of healthy candy.
