Halloween 2014

Gabriel decided he wanted to be a fireman for Halloween sometime around the beginning of September. He gave the same answer several times over a couple of weeks, so it seemed like a safe bet. And once his costume came in (thank you, Grammaw), he LOVED it. And continued to love it straight through Halloween.

First he practiced at Grammaw's to make sure it fit.

Then he and Will wore their costumes together.

And then we enjoyed trick-or-treating with two neighbor families. Here's Gabriel's fireman, Ruby's princess, Reno's Marshall (from Paw Patrol), and Ryla's cheetah. (Also, a young kitten followed our group around for a good portion of the night, so it's nice that he/she is in the picture, too.)

I wanted to get a better group shot of all the kids, but it turns out that 1 seven year old and 3 three year olds do not stand still very well. Especially when there is candy to be retrieved from houses!

It was SO much fun to go trick-or-treating this year since Gabriel understood the whole thing and we were with friends. Yay!

Happy Halloween!
