For Halloween, we not only took Samantha trick-or-treating but we also participated in a party at Gymboree.  This year Sam was Little Red Riding Hood.  Recently, Sam has taken a liking to carrying round a basket at home, filling it will small toys or socks.  This inspired her costume (conveniently purchased on eBay) and she couldn't have played the part any better! 

Since Sam and Jade are so close in age (1 month!), Frank, Andrea, Lloyd, and I thought it would be a lot of fun to take the girls trick-or-treating together - with Nala too of course!  Along with Frank & Andrea's friends, we had quite the little group going.  The babies had a blast and proved to be experts at trick-or-treating (treats only). I was a Christmas tree and Lloyd was a hot dog.

After trick-or-treating, we went to a small Halloween party where Sam out-partied everyone! She made a ton of new friends and even learned to play poker!
