The costumes have been ready since summer, the treats were purchased weeks ago, we've been reading about Halloween and even receiving Halloween goodies in the mail for several weeks... but tonight was the big event. Though Lilly is 3, this was the first year we actually took her trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. So, for about an hour, we cruised the culdesacs in search of goodies... candy, popcorn, toys, plastic jewelery and fun...
Claire, even at her young age, got the jist of it- she held on to her bag while following the big kids to the door. All she had to do was look cute, and people gave her candy. The big kids said "Trick or Treat" and "Thank you." Claire excelled at saying "Bye-Bye," sometimes saying it 5 or 6 times.
Our friends Brennan and Jaden joined us for dinner before T-time, and they seemed to have just as great of a time visiting the neighbors. Here they are before setting out in the neighborhood:
What's a stroll through the neighborhood without the wagon?
And, of course, Miss Hannah joined us. She and Lilly have been talking about and planning for this evening for months- Tinkerbell and Ariel. In their adorable attire, they set forth to gather treats. Here they are:
Once the whining and fussing began, we knew it was time to head home. Claire was ready for bed in an instant, so everyone else celebrated with pumpkin pie. Hannah and Lilly found it extra fun to answer the door and give popcorn to the other trick-or-treaters. The night ended with big hugs, a few bites of candy and toothpaste laden toothbrushes.
Until next time... Happy Halloween everyone!
