Kate and Matt hosted another incredible halloween party for Grace's playgroup.  All of the kids were so cute in their costumes.  This past year, Olivia has learned to love candy, so she got right into the halloween spirit.  She went trick or treating for the first time.  She found it important to inventory all her candy after each stop, which impeded our progress.  She also wanted to eat some candy along the way and I found her biting right through the wrapper of a Crunch bar.

Right after last year's party, Grace went into labor with Lucas, so we celebrated his birthday with the playgroup before trick or treating.  What's a little cupcake to go with a basket full of candy?

As a parent, I now realize that Halloween isn't just a day, it's an entire season.  Both Olivia and Lucas got a lot of mileage out of their costumes this year.  I wonder what they'll be next year???
