The Loot...

I'm a little slow...but I didn't want to leave these out.
This little town is kinda funny (quirky), and Halloween is no exception.
The night was really fun thanks to our friends
the Merritt's who showed us how things work in Eureka on this spooky night.

First we met at our house for taco soup and...

some brains and hands (so cool).

And some mummies (these were a huge hit and will definitely be back next year)!

The weather was perfect (57 degrees)...
these guys were chompin' at the bit and ready to go.
All kids of any age get to go trick-or-treating (teenagers welcome)!

Ann Marie and I rode in the car while the kids RAN from house to house.
Ann Marie knows where everyone lives and gave us a great tour of the town.
Luckily she told me I'd need an extra bag because their buckets weren't even close to being big enough to hold all of their candy (she was right)!
Job security for my hubby I guess :)
This picture does not do it justice...seriously a lot of candy!

Even full size ones..my girls were so excited!
If only I could stop eating them...

And probably my favorite photo of the night...
Avery (Dorothy) who hung out at home with Dad.
She was just as excited about the candy as Kallie & Syd were.
She loved the crinkly, shiny wrappers!

Such a fun, fun night!
Here we are a week later with snow on the ground and 6 degree temps tonight.
So glad Halloween was last week!

Ty and Gracie are in love with that picture of Avery!! Your kids are so cute. In fact Ty said "I want a baby like that. Maybe they will sell her to us and I will cuddle her" ha ha I had to laugh really loud at that one ;) I hope things are going well for you guys. Looks like you live in a fun little town!! We hope to see you around the holidays.

Okay. I LOVE the jello (especially the right hand missing a finger). Going to have to try that some time. Also loved baby Avery sitting in a sea of candy. She's a cute little elf!
