Halloween 2008

Our Halloween started off with quite a trick. On Thursday night, our doorbell rang at about 10:00 pm. I was a little startled, and refused to answer it. We had just received letters from our HOA that there have been recent break-ins, so I was a little nervous. Brad went to the door to find to crazy women dressed-up but refusing to talk. Brad said, "You are a little early for Trick-or-Treating." They still didn't talk, so he started to back away from the door, and I started moving further up the stairs. After several minutes, we heard them say, "Brad." It turned out to be my mom and mother-in-law. They were suppose to arrive on Halloween right around dinner time just in time to go trick-or-treating. They decided to surprise us. I can't believe they were both able to keep the secret. We talked for hours about their little surprise. The girls were so excited, and I was greatful for the extra help.





On Friday, Nana took Rylee to the bus stop. Later in the day, both grandma's were able to go have lunch with her at school. Rylee was really excited about that. Since I had help, I was then able to go to Rylee's classroom for her party. It was exciting to see her at school.





After the bus stop in the afternoon, we got ready for our 2nd annual block party. We all brought lots of food and socialized until trick-or-treating began. Brad stayed home to hand out the candy, and my mom and I took the girls around the neighborhood. Sydney kept saying, "Are we going to get more candy?" Kamryn slept for the first part of the evening. We had such a nice weekend, and are so lucky to have such great moms to gave us a great surprise. Thank you so much and we love you both.
