Our First Halloween in Meridian

Our first Halloween in Meridian was a success. Dan made scones and hot chocolate for all the parents and we had candy for the trick or treaters. It was a great way to get to know the neighbors. The weather was pretty nice even though it got colder as the night went on. McKenna had a blast showing off her costume of Disney Princess Mulan. She loves dressing up. She was going to be Cinderella like last year, but we found a deal at the Disney store on costumes the Saturday before Halloween. She loved wearing lipstick and blush. It took a huge amount of gel to get her hair up without wispies everywhere. McKenna and I went around the neighborhood and she got about a half a bucket of candy. She kept making me hold it because it was too heavy. Our friends, Adrianne, Dave, Kye and Dallyn came over to try the scones. Kye was a John Deere tractor and Dallyn was a puppy. All the kids looked so cute! We didn't dress up Thumper, but he wanted to eat all the scones. Maybe next year we will spring for a costume for him, when he is old enough to not chew it off. Everyone had a great time! Oh yeah...after three weeks of waiting for our backyard fence to be finished, they finally came and finished it. Hooray!!!
