Happy Halloween

When Gram was here, she took the kids to Maria's Gardens so they each could pick out their own pumpkins.  All three girls were very proud of the pumpkins they picked.
 
"Ava, which one is your pumpkin?"
"Right He-er"
 
 
"This one Aya's.  Right he-er!"
 
"Aya's pumpkin!  So heavy!!!!"
 
Because of the storm, Halloween was postponed until Sunday night (November 4th).  Really bizarre going trick-or-treating 5 days after Halloween but it did not matter at all to the kids.  We got back from the football game and had an hour to eat, get dressed, and head out the door to collect some candy.  Grandpa was here and that made it even better!!
 
Bumblebee, Merida, and Rapunzel ready for some trick-or-treating!

 It was fun to chat with the neighbors and all of them couldn't believe Ava - how big and sweet she was!  She walked (or got carried) up to each house and said "ick-or-treat" and then would look at them and say "Kank-You" after they gave her candy.  My favorite quote of the night from Ava was after the third house, she picked up her bag and said "TOO HEAVY!!!"

All the ladies!
 
So glad Grandpa could spend Halloween with us - it was awesome!!
 
Kiara and Mckenna went out three separate times.  The first with everyone.  Grandpa and Daddy took them the second time while Ava and I stayed back to answer the door.  The final time, Grandpa and Ava stayed back while Tom and I went with them.  This is the girls ringing the doorbell at our house after the final time trick-or-treating.  I love Ava in the window!!
 
Check out all of that candy!!!
 
Another great trip Grandpa.  Thanks and see you soon :)!!
