Happy Halloween!

Ellie was a princess, of course. She had a tiara and a wand and a tulle skirt with hot pink bows - a birthday present from the Bowler girls. And, yes, her shirt says "Tiaras Make You Taller." Well, Rob says, whatever works...

Marc and Sarah came over and spent the evening with us. We ordered pizza and answered the constant ring of the door bell. Before it got dark, Ellie wanted to sit on the porch and hand out the candy herself. So of course we did. When trick-or-treating in Loveland closed at 7:30 p.m., we went over to the Strikes house where Monica and Jon were house-sitting. Pratt was an iPod this year. The picture doesn't really give the full view of the costume, which was elaborate and accurate. Then we went over to Nana and Keith's house, of course, to get ooohs and ahhs from them. Ellie twirled her wand and held onto her treat bag the entire time. She even kept her tiara on until we got to Nana's house, when she decided she'd had enough of being taller. It was a late night for a little princess, but too much fun to turn in early!
