The Halloween festivities started the weekend before with a visit from our good friend Joe from NYC. We took him to the place that all city folk want to visit...pumpkin patch! Although we did not actually get our pumpkins there, we enjoyed the hot apple cider, donuts, petting zoo, and spooky hayride.
I decided to do a new decoration this year and Parker helped me make ghosts to hang in our tree. These are pictures of us outside hanging them up. Parker loaded up the ghosts in their trick-or-treat pumpkins to carry them outside. Then she commanded Graham to hang out under the ladder with her.
For Halloween, Parker wanted to be Tinkerbell so we took the opportunity to have Graham be Peter Pan. I bought Parker's outfit, but made the pom poms for her shoes. Grandma made the hat and belt for Graham's outfit. This was the best picture I got...
We were attending a 1st birthday party for Miss Mary Nudds, so this was taken right when we get there...Graham still kind of waking up from the nap we disturbed him from (note the bed head). The party was so much fun and the kids got to play outside all evening because the weather was very mild.
We went trick or treating in the Nudds neighborhood with the whole crew so it was fun and crazy. Graham got the hang of it all very quickly and decided he no longer wanted to hold Mommy or Daddy's hands...such a big shot. He loved riding in the wagon that one of our friends had brought.
