Celebrating with the Garners

Tuesday was Trick or Treating on the Iowa side. The Garners invited us over to trick or treat with them and have dinner after with their neighbors. Their neighborhood really gets into it! It was a beautiful night out, so most of the neighbors were sitting in the driveways waiting. There were TONS of kids! Garner Farms is the best neighborhood!! (funny huh??? Craig and Kim Garner live in a neighborhood named Garner Farms... heck, they even live on Garner Drive!!!... hehehe, makes me laugh everytime! I want to live in Ladwig Farms on Ladwig Drive!!) But seriously, the neighbors are so nice there and everyone is just.... so neighborly!Here is Hallie and Ella handing out candy... this job had to get passed on quickly, since they were SCOOPING hand fulls into the trick or treaters' bags!! They thought it was great!

First Annual Ladwig Halloween Party

Monday morning we had our "First Annual Halloween Party" :) We invited the neighborhood girls and Miss Ella to come over (with the moms of course) for a "spooky lunch, craft, games and goodies. This was also a great time for the girls to see each other in their costumes. Thanks for coming girls!

This picture isn't fabulous, but heck... they are all in it!!From Left: Hallie- Belle, Jess- Tinkerbell, Elli- Cinderella, Lia- Nemo, Ella- was Tinkerbell, changed to one of Hallies--now Sleeping Beauty, and Reese- witch

Sunday...

Okay, so Sunday was another fun day. "Snow White" (yes, that is costume number three!!) and zebra and I went and picked Grandma Carmel up from the airport and then went Trick or Treating at the South Park Mall (in Moline, IL) It had a lot more activities for the kids and stuff than North Park. There was a train, crafts, balloon guys and of course trick or treating. I accidentally left my camera in the car, so all of the pictures are on my mom's camera. I will post a picture (or two) later of the girls in these costumes when I get them from her. Stay tuned for more...
