Chinese Lantern Festival

While we were at Fair Park for the Diwali Mela, we decided to take time to see the Chinese Lantern traveling exhibit.  We got half price tickets with our Diwali tickets so it made it reasonably priced and it was so pretty we were all glad we went. The lights were so beautiful and the girls had a lot of fun. Katie especially loved the pandas and the butterflies.

Diwali Mela

Last night, we went to the Dewali Mela at Fair Park. The weather was absolutely perfect and we had a great time. 

First, we let the girls ride the elephant before it got to dark to get pictures. 

One of the booths was doing face painting.

We watched the Ramayana acted out.

It was very crowded because the weather was so nice everyone came out.

Then we watched some Indian pop star. Theo wasn't "hip" enough to know who he is but we still enjoyed the music.

Trick Or Treating

For Halloween, we went trick-or-treating with some neighborhood friends. The girls all had lots of fun. We completely wore ourselves out, and got tons of candy!

Lizzy was a pink fairy and even got the neighbor to paint her face really pretty. 

Katie was Taylor Swift.

We were all brave enough to walk by the neighborhood cemetery on Halloween. 

And we only saw one ghost.
