Happy Halloween!

Wow what a day. Andrew is cleaning up downstairs while I sit on the couch and relax. We had our friends the Andersons and Galle-Bishops over for dinner/dessert tonight before we went out trick-or-treating. Our morning was spent grocery shopping and cleaning and then cooking in the afternoon. I made Andrew's mom's Chicken Pot Pie recipe and Andrew made Pizza Pot Pie. Our friends brought the appetizers and desserts. All of the kids looked adorable in their costumes! Sydney was Mulan and Maddie was Princess Leia. I was also Leia and Andrew was Han Solo. Trick-or-treaters started coming to our door before we headed out and the kids were so excited to pass out candy. Sydney passed out two pieces to everyone and her friends were eager to help. Even Hazel, who usually does not eat from the table, stuck her nose in the bowl looking for goodies to eat. It was very cold out tonight so everyone bundled up and the kids took turns riding in Sydney and Maddie's two seat wagon. We only went far enough to fill everyone's bucket once, but even so we had a great time seeing all of the decorations. Everyone really got into it! Some neighbors turned their garages into mini haunted houses and handed out candy. When we got back to the house I made hot cocoa for the kids so they could warm up. By then all of the trick-or-treaters had gone home as well which worked out nicely. It was fun spending time with great friends!! Happy Halloween!!
