HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I LOVE Halloween!!  It is the second most celebrated holiday in the U.S.A.!  At the beginning of the week we carved pumpkins with Steve's sisters.  The only thing I like about carving pumpkins is getting the guts out!  Xavier did not want to stick his hands in the guts...he wanted to use the knife!  Half way through the week I didn't think we were going to get a Halloween.  Xavier and Steve were sick all week.  Come Halloween day, Xavier's fever got low enough to venture out to downtown Mount Vernon to go trick or treating.  Steve was working for the 3rd Halloween in a row, so the Aunties came over and we headed downtown.  After we collected all of our candy we went to a costume contest at the Lincoln Theater and then we met up with Steve's parents at Bob's for dinner.  It was a great Halloween that ended with Xavier crashed on the couch.

Steve doesn't like to carve pumpkins, but he's doing a good job!



Instead of using the knife, we let Xavier color one and put stickers on it!
My little flower!
She loved her costume...probably because it is kind of like her jammies!
I added the skirt!

The girls!

Holy line!  Tons of people!  I didn't really think it would be this crowded!
