Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween today.  The day started off with a preschool parade.  It was fun to see all the kids dressed up, but trying to keep them organized was like herding cats.  I especially loved all the kids holding hands as they walked down the block.  Vita dressed up like a black cat.


There were a couple attempts to take a group shot.


Anabelle went to school dressed as a skeleton.  Today was a big day for Anabelle, as she is starting to transition out of the baby room and into the toddler room at school.


Grandma Victoria came over dressed as a witch, and joined Ernie and Vita for some trick-or-treating in downtown Santa Cruz in the afternoon.


Anabelle and I stayed home, and had a little photo shoot in her other costume... a bee.






Vita came back from trick-or-treating with LOTS of candy, and she was excited to join up with her friend Maddie for more trick-or-treating in her neighborhood.


One last photo and Victoria, Vita and I headed out for the evening, while Ernie stayed home with Anabelle.


At Maddie's house, we met up with more friends.  Vita looks like she is wearing scary Halloween teeth, but really she has a mouth full of crackers.  Somehow, I didn't get a photo of Vita and Maddie together, but here's Vita with some of Maddie's friends.


Vita was so cute saying "Trick or Treat" in her tiny little girl voice.


We trick or treated until past Vita's usual bedtime, and headed back home with a VERY FULL bucket of candy.
