Halloween Catch Up

This Halloween was busy.



It began with a family brunch at Chocolate Angel (YUM) - a sort of mini-shower to celebrate baby Elliot's pending arrival.



We missed you, Carrie (in India)!  But it was so nice that the rest of the sisters were there, including Heidi (in from Ohio) and even my brother Thomas!



It was a lovely lunch, and Lucy was fairly decently behaved, especially given the situation: few toys, no room to run around, long time at the table with no chips or bread.  She did great.



After that we hung out at the house for a little bit, and Heidi helped me sort through some of Elliot's clothes, which is a daunting task.  



I am hugely appreciative for the help, and I'm glad to say the clursery (closet-nursery) is now almost complete!  Will update with photos soon.



It was nice to get a couple photos with my sister Nickie, who lives far enough away that we don't see each other as often as I'd like - - and I realized the other day I'm lacking in photos with her and Lucy together.



Same goes for Heidi.



So then after that, it quickly became Halloween evening! 

 Lucy was dressed as Snow White (thanks, Carrie!) and looked so sweet.  Wish I could have found the red bow that went with the outfit, but what can I say.



Jack went as a skeleton for part of the evening, and then Darth Vader (his 3rd year in a row) for the second part of the evening. 



We only went to a few houses - just the neighbors we know.  But it was really fun seeing daddy/daughter trick-or-treating for the first time.  If they ever go to a daddy/daughter dance at church or for cotillion... I'm not convinced I'll even like those photos as much as I do the one above.
