Trick or Treat!

This is the first year that Halloween has actually worked out pleasantly for us. Lily is now old enough to truly enjoy the dressing up and the candy action. I had really been working on her all month and practicing knocking on the back door and saying, "Trick or treat!" She's become a pro! When Halloween finally came, she was so thrilled and anxious! After dinner, we got her and Alex all dressed up in their adorable little costumes and of course took tons of pictures. Come on, did you really expect anything less from me? :)

Alexandria was the most adorable little witch :)

Totally pumped and ready for trick or treating!

Lilyana was the cutest little Tinkerbell
(So, tell me why people thought she was a princess or an angel? Does she LOOK like that to you? Who doesn't know Tinkerbell? Come on people!)

Michael and I even threw together some fast last minute costumes:

I think I pulled off the butterfly look. What do you think?
Lily's dress up wings were a bit tight, but worked nicely.

The girls didn't know what to think of Michael's costume at first.
Who is this redneck, bearded lady?

I am pretty impressed with this photo. I took it myself!
We may not all be looking, but I was happy to get everyone in the photo!

And here they are all cozy in their wagon and ready for the
trick or treat adventure.

Lilyana is a very fast learner and already a Trick or Treating pro! After each house, she would say "Get more candy, mom? We go to another house? I LOVE candy!"
Once she figured out that this whole thing worked, there was no stopping her!
What a silly girl!

After trick or treating, we stopped by Great Grandpa's house to get more candy and snuggles before bed.

Back at home, of course, we had to check out our stash!

I don't think she has ever seen so much candy before! Look at that excitement!

Whoa, baby!

Lily (and Daddy) were definitely in candy heaven!
(Please divert your eyes from my messy couches. Thanks much!)

It was a very long, but fun night! Next year we are going to think of a family theme to dress up as! ;)
