We were so excited last fall to have Gramma Connie and Papa Ray (my wonderful parents) come out for a visit. They stayed with us for almost 3 weeks and we had so much fun. (This will not be the only post about their visit.) For now lets focus on the fact that they were here in time for Halloween. YAY!
Our Halloween fun started with the annual parade at the school. Keri's Sure Start class dressed up as alphabet trees from the book "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom". The rest of the elementary students dressed in rhyming costumes. Its always interesting to see what the kids come up with.

| Jedi with a Black Eye |
It's funny...last year Alex was Batman with a frying pan and Garret was a Jedi with a black eye. I guess our boys aren't very original, but it's nice that we can get by with using the same old costumes. Next year we're going to have to try something new.
They donned their costumes again on Halloween night for some trick or treating here on base. Lizzy dressed up as a Shadowhunter (from The Mortal Instruments series) complete with runes of power. Luckily, we had Gramma Connie here to draw the runes on with an eyeliner. Alex and Garret stuck with the same costumes they had worn for school (minus the rhymes). Keri was, of course, a princess.

We all had a lot of fun and the kids got a lot of candy to share with Mom, Dad, Gramma and Papa. :)
