halloween party

we are very lucky, kyle's parents' belong to spring lake golf club.  so we get to go to the kids holiday parties.  today was the halloween party.  it has been a couple years since we last went.  john was two the last time we went and he was a little scared of the other kid's costumes.  well, one costume in particular, a dinosaur.  it's been a few years, so when shelly showed us the flier, we were excited to take the kids.

this was the best picture i could get of the two of them together

  this year, the kids' great grams or gigi (as we like to call her) picked out gillian's glitter fish costume and found john's bumblebee transformer costume.  john was very excited to go to the halloween party.  while gillian fell asleep in the car on the way down.  they had a huge buffet, a dj, craft station, a tattoo station and hayrides.  we got the kids fed immediately.  once, john was done eating, he had daddy take him to the tattoo station to pick out a tattoo.

anyone that knows john will not be surprised that he picked out a triceratops and had them make it green.  the whole time, john and daddy were in line and getting a tattoo, gillian ate.  and she ate and she ate some more.  kyle and i kid around that we should start telling people the stuff she doesn't like.  she is very adventurous.  today, she tried lamb, creamed spinach and pumpkin pie for the first time.  and loved it all.  after we had some dessert, we all went outside to go on a hayride. 

we had a great time at the halloween party.  i am really looking forward to halloween this year.  i know that john and gilly will have a great time!
