Halloween 2014

We added another great Halloween to the books this past weekend. Since we really never get trick-or-treaters we all went out together. Abby was a pirate, the first non-princess costume she's ever chosen. Nora was a fairy, which she assures me is in some material way different than a princess.

We also managed to continue most of our fall family traditions.

First we had to decorate the house.

And make cookies



and eat cookies.

We made our annual trek to the pumpkin patch.

First grade is a little too uptight to wear costumes at school, but Nora got one more year in at the preschool parade.

It's already November so the holiday season is upon us, so far so good.
