Halloween!

We had a beautiful night for trick-or-treating and the girls had a great time walking around our neighborhood (which goes NUTS over Halloween!).  I took the girls around with the neighbors while Stephen stayed home and passed out candy to the Trick-or-Treaters (over 150 by our count and that is nothing compared to the number of kids they get at the top of the neighborhood!).  We are still on a sugar high from the festivities. :)

We dressed up for Halloween at work, so I went ahead and stayed in costume....the girls loved it!

Ashlyn and Hannah with our neighbor, Natalie - she has been their trick-or-treating side kick for three years now!


First stop....the Price house!


The Paparazzi even showed up (aka our neighbor, Brian)



Hitting every house they could!


As I said, many of our neighbors really like to do it up for Halloween...


 This guy was pretty freaky

By this time the girls were getting tired....they didn't want to stop until those bags were full, though!

Washington, DC

A few weekends ago we headed up to Washington, DC to go to the wedding of Stephen's cousin, Benjamin.  We left on Thursday morning and drove up to Raleigh where we met Erin and Ronald and hitched a ride the rest of the way.  Friday was spent touring DC while my parents stayed in Anderson with Ashlyn and Hannah.  Ashlyn managed to get a terrible respiratory infection, so Mom had to work overtime and take her to the doctor where she once again got put on her nebulizer.  Luckily the medicine did the trick and Stephen and I could enjoy the rest of our trip, and a fabulous wedding!
