We rang in the Halloween traditions with tons of decorations and making yummy cut-out cookies. "Frosting cookies", as we call them, are our faves! The dough was their dinner that night :).
Sarah and Annie got to join Lexi on her school's field trip to Fog Willow Farm. They picked out pumpkins, saw animals, went on a hayride... the works. 
Gracie was a pop-star, one of the only modest-ish tween costumes we could find this year. She was beautiful!
Lexi was a flamenco dancer, but since most 6 year olds don't know what that is, we turned her into a queen, with a little tiara and tons of sparkly makeup.
Sarah went as the cheerleader that Alexis wore last year. She is OBSESSED with makeup and since it's our only day of the year where that's allowed, she lived it up!
They went to a school Harvest Festival, dressed up for the church trunk-or-treat, and even wore their costumes to chat with grandparents online and to answer the door for trick or treaters. I think it's the first year that nobody had to change costumes half way through our holiday.
This picture shows their true personalities. Proper Alexis, obedient and beautiful, silly Sarah, Gracie making Annie laugh. They are so much fun!
This shot was at gymnastics. I loved the red wall, but this is the only one that turned out.
Little Minnie Mouse with her piece of cheese. Getting her to smile was so tricky. But she loved wearing her ears - this girl always surprises us! 
Carving pumpkins - unfortunately all of the pictures of the final products are blurry. Each of the girls did their own - Annie even got to draw her face with permanent marker. Mine had a cutout of a bat and said CREEPY. 
Loved Halloween - glad those 20 pounds of candy are all gone! (right to my stomach and hips!)
