Happy Halloween!

First of all, we would like to stress how important it is to put safety first on Halloween and all year...yes, this is a Halloween Decoration that we found buckled properly into an infant seat.
The girls could not decide what to dress as for the longest time! Finally (after my dress-up-buying escapade) Maliya decided on Cinderella...
She was so excited about me letting her dress up that she was actually working the camera (for once in her life!)!!!

With Maliya as Cinderella, I naturally had to dress Katie as one of her little mice friends...



And Rachel chose to be Belle...this dress was WAY to long for her, so I put a frilly skirt under it, to give it some puffiness, then tucked the extra length into the under skirt. I think she made a pretty stinkin' cute Belle!
Love her curly hair!
After having watched her sister show off her "Cinderella shoes" Rachel insisted on doing the same thing!



Friday morning, we kicked off the Halloween Weekend with a neighborhood parade! We had a pretty good turn out and it was SO CUTE!!!
After parading through the neighborhood, we ended at the clubhouse, where they got to check out their loot, get some pictures done, and enjoy donuts and milk!

Maliya and her bff, Lily...Katie and Lily's little sister, Emma...



The whole adorable crew!
This is how Katie spent most of this event:
Friday afternoon, we headed over to Adobe for their annual Halloween production. We only have a couple of pictures, but Adobe goes nuts at Halloween time! They put a ridiculous amount of time and money into their "Trick or Treat" day. Then, you have to stand in line forever to get in, you have to have a wristband to get in...and each employee is only allotted about 7 wristbands to divi out to family and friends.
Each department has their own theme to work with, and awards are given for those who are voted to have the best area and best costume.

By the time Friday was over, Brian and I were both kinda sick of Halloween. Sad. On Monday, we did send the girls over for a third "Trick or Treat" event at Grandpa Myler's office, but that was the end of it. We handed out candy that evening, but did not bother dressing the girls up a fourth time. They ended up with plenty of candy, anyway.
