Trick or Treat!

Last week my sister got married!  It was a fun event outdoors and we all had a great time!  Well, Ellie was fighting a cold and slept on the way there so she was pretty much out of it but...they rest of us had a ball! 

Just as precious asleep as she is awake.

The family proudly finished a 1,000 piece Halloween puzzle just in time for Monday.  It was the first time we'd done it and there was a missing piece!  Don't you hate that?  ;)

Time for Trick or Treating and the long antipated costumes - Mario Brothers and Toad from Nintendo!  It's not like they haven't played  hours and hours of it!  And little Ellie went as....

Blue from "Blues Clues"!!!  She was super into it!

I went as a Cubs fan (woo hoo!!!) and Jeff got lucky at a thrift store and found a green shirt to look the part of the host of the show.

See the resemblance?
 

The first thing Ellie wants to do when she wakes up is dump out her candy like her sibling and play with it.  If you can believe our luck, she does not fuss or ask to eat any of it.  So far I've given her a single M&M and dinner time each night and she's over the moon about that.  Sweet and simple.
