Ellie loved her first Halloween. She didn't fight her "mane" and she loved Trick or Treating. I stayed home to pass out candy and Brett took the girls around the neighborhood. I expected him to drop off Ellie within an hour but they came home well after dark and Ellie was having a grand old time. She loved watching all the costumes, going to the door with her bucket, and growling like a true lion.Mandy had a huge story for me about "darf skater" (Darth Vader) who followed them, but then turned and went away. Her eyes were huge as she's telling me this. She repeated the story multiple times over the course of the evening.
Katie just kept going and going, dancing the night away. I made them come in and eat some dinner when they finally brought Ellie home, but they wanted to go back out again so Brett took the older two out again and Ellie was asleep within half an hour. It was lots of fun.Katie had fun at her first school party and she got to be in the costume parade that went around the whole school. Mandy and Ellie came with Brett and me to Salt Lake to see Brett sworn in as a Utah Attorney in Abravanel Hall. They wore their costumes, and while we waited for Brett to sign all the various rolls, everyone gooed and gahed over Ellie and Mandy. So it's official, he signed his soul away on Halloween.
