Happy Halloween!

We ended our 3 week celebration of Halloween with a great weekend in Tivoli (the girls got to jump in the leaves for the first time!) and then trick-or-treating in Riverdale. The girls had a wonderful time dressing up and of course, enjoying the candy! We did rein in the candy-fest the day after Halloween and packed up much of it to send to an organization that does care packages for soldiers overseas, reserving 2 pieces a day to enjoy for the next week. The girls were actually very happy to do that, and Fer wrote a sweet letter to go with the care package that started "Dear Hero, Thank you for saving our lives." Not quite sure she has all the politics down, but I'm sure it will brighten a soldier's day somewhere. And God knows, they need it.
