Halloween

I really really really love Halloween. 

It is quickly becoming my favorite holiday. 

This year was Mary's turn to host but we ended up staying home since Ollie had been running a fever. 

He was feeling well enough to get decked out in his Buzz Lightyear costume though! Elle chose to be a Witch at the last minute and looked great!

MawMaw & PawPaw stopped by for a quick hello and to drop off treats on their way to Mary's house. 

One sassy little lady!

I'm not sure if she loves trick-or-treating more or waiting for the doorbell to ring and handing out candy!

Hate that my sweet little dude wasn't feeling his best.

It was finally dark enough to hit up some houses!

Ollie went down one street with us before heading back home to hang with Eric. 

Elle and I stayed out for awhile longer then came home for her to continue handing out candy and to watch Hocus Pocus one last time. 

Since the next day was All Saints Day Elle was off school. We had a lazy day at home, hit up Target...the usual. 

For months (ever since she saw the movie Coco) she had been talking about celebrating The Day of the Dead.

While the kids took a late nap I set up a little dinner in the dining room complete with pictures of some of the people (and pets!) we have loved and lost.

It was a sweet little night sharing memories with each other.  

Elle had told me the big reason she so badly wanted to celebrate was so that Hermann could come home again. Just typing that I have a lump in my throat. I love this sweet girls amazing heart and love this tradition she started for our family.
