Halloween was shimmery and slithery this year as Grace became Snake Girl. She filled her bag this year on the fabulous Fair Oaks Street in San Francisco. No cars...kids were free to walk in the street, and every house had a treat.

Grace turns 9 on October 5. Here she is with a photo book gift from our neighbors Finn and Rita.
