Tinkerbelle, Dorothy, and Jessie

Jill's Journal: Gone are the days of coordinated costumes for these sisters. These little girls all have minds of their own (and strong ones). The ideas of what they wanted to be for Halloween tumbled forth with increasing frequency over the last two months or so. And, of course, they changed their minds every five minutes.

Two days ago, we took them to a discount store, led them to the racks of inexpensive Halloween costumes and told them it was time to pick.

Dorothy, Jessie, and Tinkerbelle had a ball today, dressed all day long in their chosen costumes. We trick or treated tonight in a friendly neighborhood in Wheatfield, one of the many Buffalo/Niagara Falls-area suburbs. And three very, very happy little girls came home with buckets overflowing. It was just like being at home (with the possible exception of temperatures in the high 30s).

Much to the girls’ delight, even Rob got in on the fun.

Bobby,

I thought I shared something in common with the namesake of "Wendy's" fast food, but now you look the part- and like you're enjoying every minute of it.

I Love you,
Granma

Hey guys:

Just wanted to drop you a line and say "hello" from the Williams'. Halloween was one of those days that your absence from Grassy Creek was glaring. We sure missed seeing the girls all dressed up. There were three pieces of candy that were homeless. (O.K., I'll admit, they were homeless for a short period of time...until I [Chris] ate them). By the way, love the new doo Robert.

Miss you guys,

Chris, Lee Ann, Clara, and Conor
