Halloween 2009

Joe brought Robbie, Serenity and Abby to Nana & Papa's for Halloween. Jack-O-Lantern carving and trick-or-treating in Decatur has become a tradition for Joe & Sierra's family, and one that we thoroughly enjoy!

Jack-O-Lanterns were carved the night they arrived. We were especially proud of Robbie, who carved his own pumpkin, without assistance from anyone. Since he was going to be Batman this year, he decided on a bat for his Jack-O-Lantern, and it was a pretty difficult pattern.

Abby's pumpkin was a kitty cat.
Sissy's was a goofy smiley guy.

Here is Robbie's bat. He said he didn't care how long it was going to take him, he was doing it all by himself and he was going to do it right. He did an excellent job for a 7-year old!

Here are Batman and Eyeore on Halloween evening.

Batman, Eyeore and Tweety Bird.

Waiting in line for the zoo to open. This year we did "Boo at the Zoo" for trick-or-treat. They had several treat stations, a talking Jack-O-Lantern who talked to each child about their costumes, carousel rides and a "spooky" train ride.
