Ruby celebrated her first real Halloween tonight (last year we were on a cruise). She dressed up as an owl and had SO MUCH FUN. She hooted for everyone and was generally adorable and sweet and perfectly behaved. Our neighborhood was overflowing with kids from the surrounding area and it was really fun to see all the costumes and meet some neighbors. Pretty much all of the kids were polite, which I appreciated.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Matty’s family and the whole Jersey Shore tonight. They are ok but still don’t have power, and we are waiting on word about the beach house in Lavallette, which Governor Christie said is one of the hardest-hit towns.
I realize that Ruby is doing her cheesy picture smile in all of these pictures, but I couldn’t decide on my favorite.

OMG! I’m so glad you posted all the pics. Seeing one cheesy grin after another made me laugh so hard!
