A Spook-tacular Evening!

Here are the small handful of Halloween pictures, as promised! To say that Miss Gracie had a wonderful afternoon/evening would be an understatement. She was in total awe that just by saying "Trick or Treat!" (which she did very well, thanks to some pre-training from her grandmother earlier this afternoon. She would say it, random strangers would drop candy in her basket, and she would look (wide-eyed) at the basket and then glance over her shoulder in bewildermint. It was as if she was thinking,"Okay...so this is how this works...but WHY are these people giving me all this candy??"
Gracie's two favorite people from church (Avery and Noah, as pictured below) went with us to walk the shoppes of Downtown Prattville and then to the Fall Festival at First Baptist Church in Prattville before heading to our own church for their Fall Festival. Needless to say, she "racked up" on candy as Bryan put it.

L: Avery the Kitty Cat and R: Gracie as Dorothy (Mom had to hold Toto and the basket)
Notice how Gracie sweetly turned her head to make sure Avery was looking at the camera too!

This is what happens when you try to stick three toddlers (okay, two toddlers and a big girl) in a picture together. Apparently Superman, Kitty Cat, and Dorothy just don't cut it as friends. Plus these were some hot and tired kids by this time!

Gracie on a horsie. I was shocked when she didn't scream bloody murder when they made her get off!

Back at Glynwood (our church), Dorothy and Toto are reunited!

So I've already been through all the candy, only two pieces of which Gracie was allowed to consume tonight. But I have to wrap up this post quick because there is a peanut butter cup and mini hershey bar that is calling my name. And Bryan can't get to it first!
