Halloween 2012

With our Disney trip last week, we missed our ward's Trunk or Treat and Halloween costumes got pushed to the back burner a little.  Thankfully both girls were more than happy to wear the same dresses as last year (and miraculously, both dresses still zipped!).  When we got back, Megan saw our fairy wings in the closet and decided to change it up a little--she became a "Fairy Princess".  Brooke was insistent that she was "I Know You" and even though we borrowed an Aurora dress from friends, she wanted to wear her trusty old pink princess dress.  Candy was a teeny ballerina. 
We went to the annual costume walk at 4 pm and enjoyed some cookies and time with friends.  Dan even made it home from work early enough to join in the fun.

That's Maddy and Brookie in the little car.  What Maddy lacked in driving skills, she made up for with confidence!  She just popped that thing in reverse and gunned it before we realized she had no idea what she was doing :).  Good thing it goes slow!

We had Megan's birthday dinner and headed out to Trick or Treat around 6:15 pm.  We made it all the way around our block plus a few houses on the next street.  Our kids were pretty tired by the end but they had a great time.  Even Candy dragged her little pumpkin bucket from house to house at first.  Then we convinced her to chill in the stroller by handing her a lollipop to sample.  The weather was great--not too hot, but no need for jackets.  It was a great Halloween!

Is that not the cutest ballerina you've ever seen?
