HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Meredith, Clyde and Sofia opened their house to friends and family Halloween night. They had four soups simmering on the stove, cheese muffins, fresh fruit and lots of other tasty, festive goodies brought by neighbors.

Sofia and her Mummy steal a moment together before the other partiers arrive. . .
Meg and Fireman Jake and his Grandma arrive . . .

Sofia and her good buddy Jake help spread balloons about for decoration. . .

Dan and Clyde approve, as Meg sets out her yummy, adorable cupcakes . . .

Mummy and Daddy help Sofia with finishing touches . . .

Sofia poses for Geema in the garden . . .

Little ones just can't escape all the camera action of the night . . .

The weather is perfect and everyone hangs out in the yard before dark . . .

Official Trick-or-Treaters, Peter, Andy, Sofia and Jake . . .

Dinner includes all the good-for-you stuff . . .

. . . as well as a dinner sucker . . .

Every party needs entertainment . . .

General, chaotic fun . . .

It finally gets dark and the first trick-or-treat experience for these little gobblins begins. . .

"Look, Mummy and Daddy, all I have to do is say "trick-or-treat" and people drop candy in my pumpkin!"

A little assist from Mummy and

Daddy . . .

After all the festivities, Meredith and Clyde reflected on how lucky they are to live in this lovely community of generous, friendly neighbors . . .

Back at the house, the fun continues with Papa helping Sofia give out candy to her trick-or-treat visitors . . .

(I may be in trouble for including this pic, but how could I resist?)

"Bye, everybody. Happy Halloween!"
