Halloween 2008 . . .

We had a faboolous day . . . the only thing missing was Tom. :(

We went to school for the 1st grade party . . . the kids were so respectful of Grace . . . hardly asked to hold her and didn't put their grubby little hands all over her either.
We came home, took a nap, put the cow costume BACK on and made stops at Grandma and Grandpa Larson's
Cash the cowboy and Grace the cowGrandma Jessie's & Grandpa Ted's

Grandma Leen's (Eileen's)
Grandma and Grandpa DeHoog's Can you tell Grace's cousins love her?Since Grace wasn't wearing her cow hat, Aubree and Teddy decided they would . . .and finally Mom and Dad's.

The 5 costumed grandkids . . . Emily the chicken, Grace the cow, Jake the pirate and Max and Jack the pumpkins

Seriously . . . how cute is that?And . . . since I knew the cow costume wouldn't last all night . . . we had to have a back-up "outfit". Introducing . . . Miss McScary. Pajama's from Gymboree, Halloween socks from the Gap and a headband crafted by her Mama. The first of many I'm sure . . . Grandma and Grandpa Jones with their 5 grandkids!Love this one . . . Grandpa and the boysGrandma and her Gracie girlJake, Dean and Max answering the door

Miss McScary . . . I have to say, the headband turned out fabulous. :)Grace and SheilaDarryl and Teresa get big bonus points for dressing up . . . especially Darryl!Anne and Grace

We partied until almost midnight . . . Grace was a doll. She is such a mellow, happy baby, even with all the craziness going on.

Now we're just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiting until Tom gets home . . .
