Halloween

We had so much fun this Halloween. It was made extra special by the fact that Grandma, Papa and Aunt Jennie were visiting.

The Ward Trunk- or- Treat

The girls loved their costumes which I purchased and then hand embellished.  I was really pleased with how they turned out.

For Halloween we went to the Air Force Base to have dinner with the Hart's and then trick-or-treating. 

J..h drew the design for this years pumpkin all by herself.

The weather was gorgeous and the atmosphere on the base was amazing.  People were so friendly and complimentary and even the teen age kids were chaperoned by their parents. In addition uniformed service men were paroling the streets with McGruff the Dare Dog.  

At 6:30 they played the National Anthem and everyone stood at attention with their hands on their hearts.  There was such an awesome sense of community, respect and patriotism- I had to remind myself it was Halloween not the 4th of July!  If we could, I would move on base in a heart beat. 

  

The girls loved the houses that got into the spirit of Halloween and decorated to the nines. Seeing the Colonel and his wife dress up as George and Martha Washington and hand out cotton candy was really fun. 

  

It was a great Halloween.
