We got our tree yesterday


And someone's very happy about it!

Halloween Festivities

Halloween night we had the missionaries and our friends over for dinner. Then we did some trick or treating around the neighborhood. It was perfectly chilly and dry-which is pretty good for an Oregon Halloween.




Here they are ready to go, Kate was ahead of the game and already starting in on some candy. Luke found a good friend and spent the evening trick or treating with him.



Kate was a pro at trick or treating.  She went right to the door, knocked, rang the doorbell and yelled "trick or treat!"  until someone answered it. One time someone said, "What a cute dinosaur!" and Kate piped up, "I'm a dragon, not a dinosaur!" Another time they commented on her cute costume and she told them, "My Grandma Galyan made it!"




Kate and her favorite little friend. She insisted on holding his hand and he was a good sport about it. Elmo had to come too.

Thanks

We have the best Halloween tradition. Every year the children decide what they want to be and then Grandma Galyan makes their costumes. They are always awesome and well loved by the children. This year we had a Mary Poppins, an Indiana Jones and Kate wanted to be a dragon. Thank you Grandma!
