Trick-or-Treat

We had a super fun Halloween. Last night's party at the Marsik's was great. We were all in costume. Jace was the cutest little dragon ever. I was a princess and Joel was my knight in shining poly-blend. During the party Jace took his first swing at a pinata. He was the littlest kiddo in the group. The next youngest participant was 4.

Today we enjoyed the warm weather by carving pumpkins on our front step and having a snowball fight. Then we took Jace out for some quick trick-or-treating. Jace loves his costume! (That's Emma in her Tigger costume greeting Jace when we stopped at Aunt Jessica and Uncle Don's house.)

Grandma and Papa Palmer joined us at our house for dinner and to answer the door this evening. Jace was nervous whenever anyone knocked on the door but he always wanted to see who was there. Once, just after I closed the door, he decided that he really wanted to give fist bumps to the kids. I told him they were gone already. He walked over and gave a fist bump to the closed door.

We could not have asked for a better day.

We might continue our Halloween celebration tomorrow with a trip to Boo at the Zoo.

We missed our annual pumpkin carving with the Sullivan family. We only got three pumpkins hastily carved and only two of them were done in time to decorate our porch on Halloween. Jace calls them bumbums (it sounds vaguely like pumpkin - at least it has 2 syllables)
