HappyHalloweenPictureLoveItI hope everyone had a tons of fun yesterday out and about with your family and friends!! After lots of fun during the day at school, Kennedy & I went to the house of Kennedy’s friends Anderson and Georgia! We ate yummy pizza and then went Trick or Treating around the spooky neighbourhood houses. When we got home we were treated to some spectacular fireworks we could see in Richmond and Vancouver from our apartment windows.
