Trick or Treat and raking leaves, Oct 31, Michigan

Elli waiting patiently for someone to come to the door with candy:)
" The gang" hopping out of the van and heading to the doors for candy.
We got the days wrong and headed out for candy on Saturday instead of Sunday. Elli is waiting for someone to answer the door. Fortunately, it was the house of a friend of Linda so she was able to explain our mistake. The guy did however, give the kids some candy. We found out there was a town close by that was having trick or treat that night, so we headed out and got some candy afterall.
Nana and Grandpa with the grandkids in the piles of leaves ready to be burned.
I love this picture. She was posing for the camera with the leaves in her hair.
Seth was a little unsure of the whole, "have fun in the leaf pile" thing:)
Elli loved it this year!
Grandpa with his little helper. Actually Elli was following him back to the leaves so she could get another ride on the tarp!
Brent got a little more exercise than the rest of us. He was chopping some wood from a fallen tree so his parents could have some manageable firewood.
Elli is actually in there somewhere, riding in the leaves. She had a lot of fun.
There she is:)
Is she helping or playing? Oh wait, that is a result of Brent raking the leaves onto the tarp Elli is holding:)
Lots of smiles before the work begins.
This is Elli's preschool class going trick-or-treating downtown Cedarville. It is a lot of fun for the kids. They get to go to all the businesses and get treats. Elli was excited to do it again this year.

These are such great pictures!! Elli looks like she had an absolute blast with the leaves - so many adorable smiles! She and Seth look so cute trick or treating. I love the picture of her and leaves in her hair posing - again she is full of awesome smiles in these pictures. She's such a happy little girl (but I can still tell deep down she is missing her Aunt Leah there)!
