Halloween 2009

This year my parents decided to come trick-or-treat with the kids in our neighborhood. We had dinner first. You have to fill your stomach with something healthy before eating all the candy! The kids loved my dad as Bob the Tomato. My parents enjoyed our neighborhood.

Avery loved being a puppy. She did not love having her picture taken. She went trick-or-treating and lasted for a couple of streets. Then she came home and took one bite of each of her treats and threw the rest away.

We have a tradition of visiting the Radmans in our costumes every year. Hailee and Brittney (not pictured) were my students for a long time. Even more important, they have babysat my kids forever. We don't see them very often anymore as Brittney is in college and Hailee is a senior in high school. We still love them, and especially love Lori, their mom.

Maren is the cutest witch I have ever seen. The girls wore their costumes several times during the week: ballet party, primary party, school party, and finally on Halloween. At Maren's ballet party they danced with a black light on. We learned that her orange and green glow.

All in all, a very fun Halloween!
