Happy Halloween!!

*
Oh how times have changed... Gone are the drunken dressed up Halloween festivities at the bars of Chicago... Tonight was a new kind of crazy. Nothing like 7 dressed up grandkids!

We made our first stop by Grandma Mary's house and her neighbor Stanley. Then we went over to Uncle Neil's for a cookout and costumes. The older kids went trick-or-treating while Lee and I stayed back with Taryn and our newest nephew Ryan who is just 1 week old! (So tiny!)

6 of the 7 just missing Ryan ~ There's Ryan, but now we're missing Austin!


Taryn's outfit was ridiculous. She was a pudgy little kitty with extra padding built into the stomach of her outfit... As if she needs extra padding around her middle! What girl wants that? Lee was like "If we take her trick-or-treating, does she actually get candy? Do we just eat the candy she gets? Or do we just parade her around?" I'm guessing you are not surprised to hear... We just ate her candy.

I guess this was technically Taryn's 2nd Halloween... Last year she was dressed up as a jack-o-lantern!
Halloween used to be Lee and my dating anniversary. Just 12 years ago was when we first started dating at a Halloween party in high school. So romantic... Or something!
