I cannot believe these days how many ways people come up with to stretch out Halloween and the chance to dress up (and to increase opportunities for lots of candy). To name a few we were involved with - dress up and a party for preschool, for dance class, for church trunk-or-treat and then for Halloween night. I guess the good news is that you get a lot of use from the costume you purchase each year! There was lots of discussion this year about Halloween's official night out since it was on a Sunday. Some in our neighborhood and at church went out of Saturday, but the Rays are traditional and we stuck to Sunday evening out with our neighbors and friends.
Here are some photos leading up to the big night out.
Mia's school doesn't have a dress up day for Halloween, but they have spirit week leading up to it and each day is something fun. Her favorite day was slipper day.
Lily got to dress up for her school parade and party.
