The littlest monster

Maggie, Lola, and Alissa

This past Sunday, Uncle Brett invited us over to his house for their neighborhood Halloween festivities. The day was bright and crisp and we arrived in time to participate in the Halloween parade that consisted of lots of costumed kids walking around the development with their parents. There were alligators, Roman soldiers, teddy bears, giraffes, witches, Red Riding Hoods and lots of other fun things - the parade was a huge success as you can see:

At the end of the parade route there were home made cupcakes, snacks, and drinks to refuel the crowd for the trick or treating to follow.

It was hard keeping up with Alissa and her friend Hannah as they ran full speed, house to house in pursuit of treats. Lola was shuttled between me, Maggie, and her Uncle Brett - her costume was a big hit and she got many compliments.

Lola closed out the fun night with a warm bottle and a big snooze on the ride back home.
