Wicked Chilly

It was the coldest Halloween ever!! But it was so entertaining! I told Cannon that we must be old because we were really getting a kick out of all the adorable kids in costumes. We dressed Caleb up as a Russian. As luck would have it, the folks who parked next to us at the trunk-or-treat are Russian, (as in, very broken English Russian) and when they got out of the car, they saw Caleb and started laughing. I turned Caleb around so that I could show them "Medvedev" on the back and they laughed even louder! Then they pulled out a camera and took a picture. Caleb insisted on pushing this stroller around for a while...

Here is the Russian family, our new comrades. Ivan and Tatiana are the parents of these 2 beautiful girls. Later on, Ivan told me that Caleb was truly a "scary Russian" because "Medvedev means 'bear' " and he's "very scary"!!


This giraffe had the cutest behind in the world. She was Caleb's height and kept hanging around our car, stealing our candy.

Caleb and Troy; Troy's mom, Ruthie, a new friend of mine.My friends are real witches! Ruthie and Jodi...

Is this the most ADORABLE gnome/elf or what?! We thought that next to Caleb, she was the cutest thing ever! And very original...


It got cold enough that Caleb stayed in the car and played...
Speaking of frigid cold weather, this was last year and look at those toes hanging out! He was sweating in that suit most of the time.
We wished Grammy and Gramps could have been here to parade around with him again. We can't wait to see you! Just a few days! Wahoo!
His first Halloween stash..
His first taste of a Sour Patch Kid! Ha, ha ,ha!



He has perma-rosy cheeks from the cold. They are much brighter and deeper red than the picture reflects (darn flash)!
We only had about 3 trick-or-treaters at the house. Each time they left, Caleb stood on his tiptoes and peered out the window and waved saying "ba-bye, ba-bye". HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
