Catching up: Halloween up through the birthday season

CJ thoroughly enjoyed herself on Halloween. Here's CJ in her ghost costume, taking a break with cousin Grace from preparations before going out trick or treating:



Meg reported that CJ thought trick or treating actually meant trading pieces of candy; here she is enjoying the back and forth:



And, after the craziness, here she is sucking down a nice cold one in front of Uncle Frank and Aunt Susan's house:



This fall was unusually warm and the playground season lasted through November. CJ was happy about that:



In the beginning of November, CJ and Mommy visited Cousin Susan and Great Aunt Jane in New Jersey.



The Halloween decorations were still out.



We also went for a number of nice long walks in Van Cortland Park this fall, taking advantage of the global-warming-extended foliage.









CJ loved the fall foliage. We still have a number of leaves around the house that we collected on our walks.
