This week has been a non-stop candy feast!
On Wednesday after a little birthday dinner (for the Mr.), Mr. Giovannoni and I hauled the kids off to our wards trunk-or-treat.
On Thursday Dylan's school held it's annual Halloween parade. Dylan chose his costume all by himself this year and no persuading by his Dad could get him to change his mind, so here he is as Storm Shadow (otherwise known as the white ninja!).

Friday, Dylan was out of school, but luckily he had his dad's work trick-or-treat party to attend to. And last but not least On Halloween night we took the kids out to see their grandparents.
Every year I try to get a picture of Mr. Giovannoni with his kids all dressed up. Alivia insisted on being a princess, and we all know better than to argue or try to persuade her other wise. Derik sported his all natural (but strikingly handsome) self, this year.

I tried to get a picture of Alivia with her Grandma Diane, but Diane hid (shame on you).

Just for fun, I put some make-up on Alivia for Friday's festivities, but before we got her all dressed we had a mini photo shoot. I imagine in 15 years this is what my baby girl is going to look like.

Now if I can just keep myself from eating all of Dylan and Alivia's candy...
