Happy Halloween!

This was Anna's most fun Halloween by far! She loved dressing up as a cowgirl (even insisted on wearing her hat most of the time--we assumed she would ditch it 10 minutes into the evening), and had a blast at the multiple festivities that encompassed the last few weeks. (Disclaimer: be prepared for multiple blog postings on Halloween/fall festival activities. I'm far behind on blogging, but am catching up on these pics...)

Last night we had a wonderful time at a Halloween party hosted by one of Anna's friends, Elena. Anna got to go trick-or-treat with a bunch of her friends, and was particularly elated about spending the evening with her "boyfriend" Owen (who she recently has started referring to as her "wife"...maybe we need to work on her vocabulary...). They insisted on holding hands through the majority of the trick-or-treating adventure...just too cute for words. They never quite figured out how to turn around at people's doorways while still holding hands, so often ended up kind of "promenading" back down the walkway. Seriously--these two are too much.

(Kate and Daddy unfortunately missed out on last night's activities because Kate was a bit under the weather...we missed you guys so much! Next year...)

Before embarking on the trick-or-treating, we enjoyed dinner, some playtime, and pinata at Elena's house. This was Anna's first "real" pinata (involving a bat instead of the "safe" pullstrings that many pinatas have now). She was a pro! She didn't quite break it open, but did give it a few solid whacks.

This was as close as we could get to a "group photo". These little ones are quick...

Dressed up? On a see-saw? With Owen? I'm not sure but what this was Anna's perfect moment...
