Halloween 2010

We had a pretty fun Halloween this year. Clara Grace and I did several activities leading up to the big day...decorated a gingerbread haunted house, made halloween cookies and pumpkin shaped jello. She wanted to be a mermaid this year and made a lovely one. I'm still able to select Zach's costume so I decided he would be a fisherman. We also attended the base Halloween party on Saturday, which was fun too. Clara Grace also was able to dress up the Friday before Halloween at school.

I'm also impressed with the way the military families decorate for each of the holidays. I didn't do a good job of capturing the participation but there were lots of people out trick-or-treating and many homes decorated. There were also quite a few groups of Japanese families as well.

As for the pictures, they are loaded backwards in terms of when they were taken. Oops! Clara Grace saw this big cat and had to have her picture made with it.

It didn't take long for Zach to get the hang of trick-or-treating. He would say, "dank oo!"
