Happy Halloween & Happy Birthday Neils!

Neils' birthday is on Halloween.  So every year I load up the kids, take them up to Neils' work in their costumes to say hello to Neils for his bday and let the kids trick or treat around to the cubicles.  They always end up with WAY more candy this way as it's much faster going from cubicle to cubicle than house to house.  Plus, everyone at Neils' work loves the kids and they load them up with more than enough candy!  This year the girls were butterflies and Jett was the cutest dragon I've ever seen.  He said he wasn't a fire breathing dragon, "cause that's mean."  He was a nice dragon!  Look at that nubie little face.  Of course he's a nice dragon!  We had Wendy and family over for Taco Soup and we went trick or treating around the neighborhood.  Jett was trick or treated out and only cared about Riley's sword.  I had to convince him to let me hold the sword every time we got to a new house so he could run up behind the rest of the kids and open his sack for a piece of candy.  So every few minutes or so he'd yell, "Trade" in which we'd switch sword for sack and he'd go running.  It was pretty cute.  We had a great night.  This year Grandma and Grandpa were busy moving into their fancy new house so they couldn't come with us, but we know they wanted to be.

Super cute costumes! I think it would be so fun to have a halloween birthday. I hope it was a good one.

Riley should have given Jett that light saber... he's got a million of them anyway. Maybe next time...

Thanks for having us over. It was hectic as usual but so fun.

Happy Birthday Neils!!! Duh... we should have had birthday cake.

Cute! Their costumes looked sooo warm, so I was hoping you let them out in the night air for some "real" trick-or-treating...at first I thought you were going to write that you just trick-or-treat at Neils' work. Fun times, neat to have your sister close to hang out and have the cousins be friends!
