Joni and Taylor had a pretty good Halloween this year, we took them
out to the Tropical Plaza Shopping Mall where they went door to door collecting
treats.
While both of them were saying "twick o tweet" all the way
to the mall, once we arrived, there were more scary monsters than they had
anticipated, and hung pretty close to us throughout the whole ordeal.
For me the whole thing was worth it, just to see the kids get all dressed
up in stupid outfits. I guess that's one of the perks of being a parent.

This picture was taken Christmas day 1996.
I believe this present was a little tikes grocery store. One year later,
the kids play with it occasionaly, but mostly use it as one corner of a
tent they frequently make with sheets from the bed.
