Halloween and Thanksgiving

For Halloween 2012, Everett decided he wanted to be Luigi from Super Mario Brothers.  Naturally, I decided Anderson would be Mario to match.  The only problem was that I couldn't find a Mario costume small enough to fit Anderson.  I looked on Etsy and found several, but they were SO expensive.  I ended up finding one that was more affordable so I ordered it, and ended up with an adorable Mario and Luigi duo.  Chance had to go to NYC to cover Hurricane Sandy so he was gone during Halloween.  He was supposed to be gone for four days, and he ended up being gone for nine days!  It was awful.  We missed him SO much!!  I don't know how military wives cope with their husbands being gone for long periods of time.  We went to a Halloween party on the Saturday before Halloween with their playgroup, on Halloween day we went to Everett's Halloween party at school, went to Chance's work to trick or treat, and then on Halloween night we were invited to have pizza and go trick-or-treating with the Close's.  We had a great time!









Chance had to work on Thanksgiving Day.  I decided not to cook a feast for the four of us, so we met our old neighbors (they moved away recently) at the Cracker Barrel for a Thanksgiving meal before he had to go to work.  We had to wait well over an hour, but the food was good and we really enjoyed catching up with Karen and Kelly. :)
