That's right, you read it, a whole week and weekend of dressing up and partying! And now, we're exhausted! Here's why: Wednesday we traveled down south to Marysville to party with my in-laws at their church halloween function. Here's Gracie doing the cake walk. She was so determined to win! Despite nearly winning at least a dozen times (we're talking very close EVERYTIME) she didn't quit or even get discouraged (which surprised Mommy & Daddy) - kuddos to you Gracie girl! :)
Bobbing for donuts... the things we make our children do! :)
Even our Jeep showed some Halloween spirit!
It was unofficially deemed the most decorated car at the trunk or treat - woo hoo! :)
Then on Thursday Gracie put her 'Butterfly Princess' costume back on
and partied with her classmates till the break of noon.
On Friday night we carved our pumpkins...
We TREATed Gracie by promoting her to "big girl status" and allowing her to carve her pumpkin all by herself this year. She gave us quite the scare when she screamed "I cut myself!" However, we searched both her hands and we couldn't even find a knick - we were TRICKed!
On Saturday we traveled down south again to go trick or treating down the main street of Arlington with our good friends, The Houstons. It was their son's 3rd birthday and what a great way to celebrate!

On Sunday we went to my grandma's to watch the worst team in football, The SeaCraps, and celebrate my birthday... it was a great afternoon spent with my loved ones. They made me feel very special... I could get used to this! :)
And finally, on Monday Gracie went trick or treating in our neighborhood!
She was excited to use the Bat Basket that her Grandma Marlene sent her from California.
When she came home it was definitely full!!!
