Back in the nick of Time: Trick or Treating!

So you've all seen the Halloween pictures of us. No big surprise that those pictures were taken 2 weeks prior to Halloween! So here are pictures from the actual night of Halloween. I made it back from my trip to San Diego just in the nick of time!

We spent Halloween with friends who live in the neighborhood to the North of us. We met them because Vanessa's best friend is their daughter, Gabriella, whom she met in 1st grade! They have 4 kids, too, and we all get along just great. We love them! They were nice enough to let us trick or treat in their neighborhood and then we hung out in their hot tub after earning our candy trick or treating.

(If you are wondering, I bought a whole bunch of organic candy and chocolate at Whole Foods and switched it out after we went trick or treating. Mike to the "bad" candy to work. The kids didn't care at all and LOVED the organic candy!)

Here we are just before heading out. Jack was somewhere saving the world...
