Happy Halloween!

In honor of our move to Marietta, Henry was the "Big Chicken" for Halloween! For those not familiar with this famous Georgia landmark, the "Big Chicken" is a KFC restaurant that sits under an enormous wooden, mechanical chicken. Gus likes to say that it protects Marietta from invaders. I'm not sure that's true, but people in Marietta tend to use it as a directional reference point. For example, our house is about seven miles east of the Big Chicken, except on Halloween, because we have our very own little Big Chicken!

We started the evening with the neighborhood Halloween parade. (We truly hit the neighborhood lottery as far as Halloween celebrations are concerned.) The parade concluded at the clubhouse with a pizza party, and would you believe my little health nut likes pizza? Then we made it to three houses for some trick-or-treating before heading back to our house to pass out candy. Henry had the most fun swiping candy from the bowl and hiding them around our porch. Thank goodness he doesn't know how delicious candy is yet!

  2. Great idea for the costume, who made that, your Mom? Fabulous! Henry looks like he was having SO much fun.
    You sure did find the most wonderful neighborhood, based on the parade alone.
    Eating pizza is almost like a DNA test for a Makris; glad his Dad was the first to give him his first bite!
