Halloween Weekend - 48 hrs of fun!

Saturday night ventured out in the snow to join friends in a celebration of Barb's 60th birthday. It was a well attended dinner in Trout Creek - yes, it is as hick as it sounds! But it was close to home and we managed to maintain the surprise over the last 3 months as we planned and coordinated the event. She was certainly surprised at the number of family and friends in attendance. We took this photo before we left the house, but we'll have to get a couple of party pictures from Barb's niece, as we were having so much fun, the camera didn't make it out of the bag. Summer was a star and entertained all the elderly folks once she warmed up and became her usual outspoken self. I have no idea where she gets that from!

Sunday was packed full of fun too, starting with visits to our neighbours to show off Summer's costume. What was a glorified costume fashion show, turned out to be the first 'bag filling venture'. Our neighbours delight in spoiling her, but to be fair, she gave back her share of hugs.

Kassie's birthday party was next at the Early Years Centre. All the girls had a great time and it was the perfect venue so that they had lots of room to work off some of the sugar! The kids ran wild and the parents had a nice visit. :-)

We then headed to the Shunk's for our traditional Halloween evening. Sum and the Girls played for a bit, we had dinner, the girls got dressed and they hit the street. North Bay didn't get the same amount of snow that we did at the lake, so at least there was no trudging though soppy snow. However, it was FREEZING!!! The kids made out like bandits after only 45 minutes.

We headed home and had Summer into bed for 7:30. Despite the busy day, she held her own, though she was asleep in the car about 10 min down the highway.
