Halloween

Maya made some ghost and pumpkin sugar cookies for Halloween this year. She and Kate decorated them together and took some to our elderly neighbours, Ross and Jamie.
As with most Halloweens, Maya goes through several costume plans before settling on the final choice. This year she decided to be a Medieval princess after she bought this headpiece when we visited Medieval Times. I had actually made the white shirt last year when she wanted to be the goddess Athena but she didn't wear it last year because she decided to be an '80s girl instead. So this year I just had to make the cloak to go with her outfit.
She joined Kate and 2 friends to go trick-or-treating in Kate's neighborhood. I am always amazed at the efforts some people put into decorating and dressing up for the trick-or-treaters. Maya and her friends loved this house.

We always trick-or-treat at Grandma's house and she gives extra treats to her grandchildren. We were happy to see Annabelle and Luke there too.
A pirate and a princess.

I wish we could have seen all of the cousins in their costumes. It's so nice that Maya and Kate are such great friends and get to live so close to each other.

Yes, that was exactly my thought, Corinne. Lovely that they made cookies for the neighbours too.
