The Girls

Halloween

We had a few occasions for dressing up. The girls took advantage.
Here we have a lion and a pirate visiting the zoo

Grandma and Grandpa Ocon provided wonderful costumes for the big day. Unfortunately we don't have any pictures of the girls in full garb. Esther was a cat complete with tail, ears, a mask, and a tiger velour dress. Bea had was a cute little dog with a tail and a hood with big floppy ears (which she wouldn't wear).

It took some encouraging from Grandpa before they got into the spirit. By the end of the night they had a big haul of candy for Dad to raid.

Parties

Esther and Beatrice believe 'making a party' is when you pull a bunch of stuff out of your room and pile it up in some kind of special configuration.
