That Halloween thing was awesome!

Leah and Hope give Halloween a HUGE thumbs up! They had a WONDERFUL time. We went to visit a friend before heading to my parents house; they have things like sidewalks in their neighborhood (ours doesn't) and being with them allowed them to share the fun of the girls' first Halloween night. First my mom went with us while Dad handed out candy at their house and then we switched. The girls got huge gift bags from my parents and loved their cosutmes.

We wondered what they'd think of trick-or-treating and we started them out with my parents next-door-neighbors. After the routine (ring door bell, say the words, accept the candy, say thank you) were complete, the first word out of Leah's mouth was an excited, "MORE!" So more she got.

Here are some pics. The first one pretty much sums up the happiness of the evening!

Now it's on to discussions of Thanksgiving. My mom got them an absolutely adorable Little People Thanksgiving set, and a harvest tractor set, and the jack-o-lanterns have been replaced by turkey stuff over here. We'll put some leaf decals on the windows as soon as I can find the bag. I cleaned out the car the other day and brought the bag in and can't find it! It's driving me CRAZY! 

Thinking ahead (but according to the stores and music on the radio I'm way behind) - does anyone have a source for personalized Christmas stockings they adore? I have a few places I'm considering but wondered if anyone had purchased personalized stockings they loved and were willing to share the source.
