Happy Halloween!

It was a very fun week for the McNeely family.  We started the season off with a visit to the pumpkin patch. Grace enjoyed the pumpkins the most I think.  She kept hugging the pumpkins and trying to pick them up.  They each wanted their own pumpkin so we managed to find 3 perfect pumpkins.

Nana came to visit on Tuesday.  All the kids were very excited to see her.  Lots of fun was packed into her 3 days visit and I think she had a fun time (with the exception of the stomach bug she and Julianna picked up).  Sorry about that Nana!  The first night we carved pumpkins.  Can you believe Nana has never carved a pumpkin?  And for her first one Julianna chose Jasmine.  It turned out great!  The picture is blurry and not so great but Julianna was thrilled!

Wednesday night was our annual Trunk or Treat at church.  I have no idea how we would have handled it without her!  We each took a kid and around we went to the various trunks.  Grace caught on quickly and held her little hand out, took the candy and dropped it in her bag.  She was very pleased with herself!  But I managed to get Julianna smiling with Nana and its definitely on my list of favorite pictures ever!

Thursday, Julianna and Nana were out with the stomach bug but Julianna rallied for some trick or treating.  Nothing was going to stop her from running around the neighborhood, getting candy with her buddies Lily and Hadley! In typical boy style, Jake ran around the neighborhood and was finished in record time.

It was a great night!  And thank you so much for coming to visit Nana!  Happy Halloween from Captain America, Snow White and Minnie Mouse!
