Girl's Beach Weekend

God has blessed me immensely with many very wonderful, very close friends. One of my groups of friends hails from my very first job as a nurse at Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in Tacoma, WA. We have been going to Cannon Beach every November since 2002, and I hope we never stop. We have so much fun together, I just love these weekends!

After our delicious dinner at the Wayfarer: Me, Nicole, Mariel, Anna, Karen, Candice and Jessica

Halloween

Halloween was super busy this year, lots of parties and fun dressing up! First was our neighborhood party, which is small but fun. Costumes and games and food, yay!

Then came a party for a friend of Sadie's birthday, which was a costume party as well. Drew came along and ended up being a big hit with the ladies. Sadie's friend is a 6th grader, so it was mostly 6th grade boys and girls. One of them, Aubrey, has a special affinity for Drew and she passed that along to the other girls.

They had a costume contest, and Drew was one of the boy finalists, thanks to Aubrey and the other girls. :)

Yep, he won "Hunkiest Costume"!!

The girls lined up for the costume contest. There were some very clever costumes!

Halloween Day came and my mom came down to enjoy the day with us. We all dressed up ready to trick or treat! Even Mom. :)
