Happy Halloween!!!

Hope everyone had a great fun Halloween with the kids. Here are some pictures of me and Briana. I have not dressed up in a very long time, and decided to dress up for Briana. She kept asking me to put on a costume with her all week > Since I had the costume from last year and never wore it, I told her I would wear a costume and go Trick or Treating with her. We had so much fun. We had gone to the Kidz Block Party that the city and a church put on for a little bit and then we went door to door. At first she was not sure, but after a couple of houses, she was a pro and the owners of the houses were laughing, cause after they gave her a candy, she would say Thank You, everyone thought she was so polite and at one house, the new owners ran out of candy, as they did not know how busy it got on their block.....so, what does Briana do.....she gave them a couple of her candies.......George and me were laughing and the owners were not sure what to do.....LOL!

Enjoy the pictures.

Thanks for stopping. {HUGS}
