Happy Halloween

Since Halloween fell on a Sunday this year, we went to a neighborhood trick-or-treating parade Saturday evening. The weather was gorgeous and Sam had a blast!

When I first got Sam's giraffe costume, he wanted nothing to do with it, especially the hat. But tonight, he wouldn't take it off! He kept patting himself saying, "soft". He definitely got into the spirit of the holiday and gladly accepted any candy anyone was willing to give him. He even mastered saying, "Trick-or-treat"!

One week can sure fly by fast! Daniel and I came home from the hospital Friday night. Grandma & Grandpa Whitaker arrived Tuesday morning and spent some quality time with Sam.

They left Thursday morning and Grandma & Grandpa Ellison arrived later that afternoon...
