Y'all didn't know you was in Mayberry, now did ja?


Happy Halloween Folks!
We're big dresser-uppers around here- especially on Halloween!
We're also big fans of themes, so it took us a while to settle on the 'perfect' family costume,
but we finally decided on the cast of 
The Andy Griffeth Show.












Weren't sure Reese would get on board with our idea- in fact she seemed determined to flip out everytime we mentioned her character- Barney Fife- with an "I'm not a BOY!" argument,
but about a few hours before it was time to leave,
once Ryan got her dressed,
I heard her calling from the back room in a sharp, totally Barney voice,
"Andy!  Now where's my HAT, Andy?!"


That was when I really knew it was going to be as perfect as we'd hoped.








We also taught her some key Barney phrases such as
"I'm gonna write you a citation!"
"No jay-walking!"
and this little gem-
"Nip it in the bud- NIP IT!"

They were all a huge hit with the folks handing out candy.



My dear and hilarious friend Alexa was a PERFECT Little Red's Granny, 
so naturally she and Aunt Bee had to have a quick photo-op.




We decided to do a replay of last year on the hood of the car, and these two were just a riot- making each other laugh harder and harder the whole time I was snapping away.
LOVE these little monsters!



















We had a blast at the Trunk or Treat with all of Reese's little friends from church and school, and came home with quite a sugar stash!

Hope your Halloween was just as great!
