Halloween 2008

Halloween is a BIG deal in Whitefish. I think it may be one of the town's favorite holidays. This year we participated in the downtown trick-or-treat. All the local merchants give out candy and there were so many people. I think the boys really enjoyed getting dressed up and had fun. After gathering candy we met up with friends downtown and watched as our children spiraled out of control. I had to remind myself at times Halloween IS a holiday for children and they get a pass when it comes to trying to stay in control, especially after all that candy and stimulation. That said we had a good time. Annemarie got lots of looks and compliments. As you can see in the picture below she wasn't real sure about this whole thing but was a great sport!

And we're done!

I also want to mention we lost a very dear friend of ours late Halloween night. He was killed in a single car rollover accident. We are all grieving his loss and are doing everything we can to help his family. This is a sad reminder to us all to cherish those you love because we don't always know what the future will bring.
