Halloween

We started off the week by going to Owen's school for his Halloween party. Aliya loved being a big kid and hanging out with her older brother. Owen made a paper pumpkin, decorated a Halloween bag, decorated a cookie, and went trick-or-treating around the school.
We carved pumpkins the night before Halloween. Aliya liked spreading the seeds around on the table and Owen drew his own pumpkin face which Dave carved.
Thankfully the snowstorm ended two days before Halloween and it got warm enough to melt a lot of the snow. Neither kid needed a jacket which is always good. Owen was Superman and Aliya was Iridessa, one of Tinker Bell's friends. Grandma Panesi made Aliya's outfit not once, but twice due to a mailing mix-up (thanks Grandma for making another costume)!
