October 8th was a holiday in Peru, memorializing the Battle of Angamos, so kids were out of school and people were off of work. The government even kindly gave people Friday off (since the 8th was a Thursday). Our friends the Engles were having a Halloween cookie decorating party, so we went to that. With the campaign for Matt's work looming and preparations for our return to the States, Matt still had to work, but he opted for a half day and came to play too.
Cookie decorating is serious business.
The kids got to pick three cookies to decorate. Henlie wanted all pumpkins :)
Finished products!
Megan, Everett, James, and Henlie
Rob and Abby....or is it Abby and Rob?
I was only told we were decorating cookies, or I probably would have dressed Henlie up.
No worries, she found some wings and a wand in the girls' toys to use.
Lee was a stud and held Andrew for a long time. He even put him to sleep!
Eliza sat down to eat next to me, so I was sneaky and snapped some selfies haha
