Halloweenathon

Somehow, between Liam's four birthday parties, we managed to fit in several Halloween-related events. (No wonder I feel like I need a month-long nap.)  I think Liam felt similarly after we asked him to "be the sheriff" for the fourteenth time in a week.  That much power comes with a price.  To start things off and for the third year in a row, we visited the witches at Gardener Village where Liam would've happily danced on stage the entire evening if permitted.  

  

Next up: trick-or-treating in Glenwild (the mansions).  Seven munchkins and six adults packed A-Team-style into Uncle Kevin's Halloween Party Van and made the rounds.  I was surprised that not one of the Glenwild homeowners passed out diamond necklaces!  Lame.  This was Liam's first trick-or-treating experience and he took to it like a champ, besides trying to move into every house on the route (smart man.)  

Halloween on Main Street is a spectacle not to be missed.  It's like the one-stop shopping of trick-or-treating.  Liam's favorite part was watching the flash mob do Thriller (over and over and over).  Of course, he joined in.  And here you can see our nice little family: Lady Liberty, an illegal alien from outer space and Sheriff Arpaio of Maricopa County.

We wrapped things up with Jack O'latern making on Halloween night.  Sticking to the pattern of the last few years, we received not one trick-or-treater, sadly.  And that is the price of living on a mountaintop...I think we covered all of our bases this year, though, don't you?
