The Humiston's "Halloween"

Opening the Halloween package from Nana. (Please ignore Jeremy's beard-eww. And note once again Faith has decided she doesn't need pants!) Nana was supposed to come to Trunk or Treat with us, but didn't get too because we were sick. So she sent Halloween surprises in the mail including Faith's costume. Faith was SO excited. She kept saying, "I BEE!" over and over again. I had to keep saying not until tomorrow.

Grace as Emily Elizabeth from Clifford the Big Red Dog (her new favorite)
Faith as a Bible Totin' Bee (Thanks Nana for the costume! Faith added the Bible herself.)
I can't believe how grown up Gracie looks here!!
Since we were sick on Halloween we celebrated a week late instead. Although Grace was disappointed to miss Trunk or Treat at our church they enjoyed our own version of Trick or Treat. We took them to Grandma Holst's house where Grace informed us that you are supposed to knock on the door. She was just a little excited, I love how she is peeking in the door in this picture! We also had fun getting to see Grandma's "new" house. This is the first time I've been to visit since she is all moved back in and decorated since the fire. Her house look great!
Below Faith and Grace are playing soccer in the backyard at Grandma's. I love this picture because their are lots of pictures of me with my cousins from childhood with that same tree and fence in the background!

The girls also enjoyed opening all the special Halloween treats that Grammy & Papa got them. Lots of fun snacks, markers & crayons, A Clifford & Leapfrog movie, and of course candy. Grammy let them choose from her candy basket what they wanted to take home. They choose all M & M's. We had a great family meal (thanks Dad for grilling in the dark) and they got to see both their uncles. Before heading home we did drive thru trick or treating in their pj's at Mom-o and Pop Pop's house. It was such a nice "Halloween."
