Our annual "Treat Night" with the girls was tonight and it's a treat for us for sure!! It begins with pizza unlike any we have in our small town! A great place just down the street from Mike & Lori has deep dish pizza only to be rivaled by that we used to eat in Chicago...yum! Then the girls get dressed and off we go!
This year Emma was a fish and Bailey was the Queen of the Sea!
An excited one at that...ready to go see her kingdom!
The next few pics were taken by Bailey, our new budding photographer. We have to giggle a bit at recent pics of Emma...she is so fair that she "glows" in many pictures.
Bailey's pic of her Aunt Jamie and Uncle John....
and one of her grandparents...Lori's parents. Good job Bailey!!!
One of us with the photographer...
and bidding goodbye to the men in the family as is our tradition. The guys stay home to hand out candy while the ladies forage out.
The girls with next door neighbor "Strawberry Shortcake"!
Collecting candy and being polite. I was surprised at the great idea many had of putting an outdoor firepit next to their chairs as they handed out candy. It felt good and smelled so good as we walked down the street.

Precious costumes--looks like you had an amazing time!
I only had one lot arrive chez nous yesterday. It was still light, they had no costumes, and they took ALL my favourite licorice wheels. Still, this is France, and Halloween is very new for them.
Cute costumes for the girls, Donna!
Utterly gorgeous...looks like everyone had fun!
Sounds like everyone had such a great time. We did too. Love the girls' costumes!
Very cute costumes!
The girls look adorable in their costumes!
Amazing costumes. They really stand out for their color and craftsmanship.
=)
What cute ideas for costumes! It's always so fun to see the little ones, and I think girls usually have the cutest ones. As for the grandkids taking the photos, I always either sit down or make them stand on something so the camera doesn't shoot right up my nose!
Super cute costumes...very sparkly! Looks like everyone had a fun time. Bailey did a good job of taking some pics...she's a future blogger!
Well done Bailey for all her brilliant photos - she has a real talent there, Donna. Love the costumes.
I love the costumes. What's the pizza place?
Hi Donna, I' BACk as you can see and I even have my identity back..I could read your blog but I couldn't leave comments. I'm so sorry about Irene 's passing. She reminded me of my mother, always cheerful with a big smile right to the bitter end. Hugs.
Your Halloween pictures are so cute and the little puppy is just so adorable , the fish and the sea world princess as well. It's so much fun seeing them all dressed up in their costumes and they grow up so fast.
Thanks for your sweet comment , " Not my Julia", I had to laugh out loud. Take care, stay safe. Hugs, JB
Looks like a great night!! XOL
ohh such cute costumes! looks like you had a great halloween!
OH how beautiful they were! And the costumes were stunning! Little girls are so much fun to dress for Halloween. Although my boys were always a laugh riot!
So enjoyable of an evening for you and yours...yay!
Hugs~
What a wonderful way to spend Halloween. I knew that you would have some great pics to share and I loved everyone of them.
Bailey is quite the little photographer already. lol
Strange you mentioned like the Pizza we had in Chicago because my cousin and I were talking about the very same thing at dinner tonight. How weird is that.
Loved my visit and you

They're just adorable. Gotta love that little fish with a pacifier in her mouth. :) Someone is very creative in costume design.
How cool is it that Strawberry Shortcake lives next door???
Oh how precious your little Queenie and chubby little fish are.
Your family is just beautiful, you are blessed girl.
Have a marvelous day filled with sweet blessins sweetie!!!
So fun to see all of the Halloween costumes. What a great holiday Halloween is for kids (even for many of their parents, to say nothing of grandparents.) I love to see the little ones in their costumes and they get so excited! Your pictures were great! I'm sure you all had a fun time!

Wonderful costumes, It's finally getting cool enough to wear coats here now too. Big Hugs♥
looks like a lot of fun! our chance to babysit this weekend! busy day...rocking a 3 month old the best part. gonna sleep good!
What beautiful costumes everyone had! We were so looking forward to spending Halloween with our granddaughters in Massachusetts, but that wretched storm forced their community to cancel Halloween! So sad... but maybe just as well as it was SO COLD out! Maybe next year we'll have a Halloween with them like the one you enjoyed. Darling pictures.
Looks like a fun time was had by all! :)
Their costumes were adorable!! Cutie pies!
It sounds like the whole family had a great time for Halloween. I loved the girls costumes and hey! you are right, that Bailey is getting to be a darned good photographer. I think that's neat that she is taking such and interest in Photography at her age. Her pics are surprisingly good too.
For several days around Halloween, all our Facebook friends posted pictures of their kids and grandkids.
They were delightful. I love seeing kids all dressed up.
Some of them get into it and others can't wait to get home and get out of the costumes.
What fun.
The most beautiful costumes I think I've ever seen! I love getting to hear your holiday stories. What a lovely family you are.
