Grandpa came up to see us in October and we had a grand time and the park and playing chase.

WE also had neighborhood friends come over for pre trick or treating dinner on Halloween. Reese had a ball and just loves all little people!! She tried to give all her toys to baby Sam.
Reese got the hang of trick or treating real fast!!! After the first couple of houses Reese starting going up to the front door and sticking her hand out and if the door was open she proceeded to go in to see what else was going on. Friendly little girl.
