Trick or Treat

We invited several families over for dinner and trick or treating. It was a lot of fun to get to know some neighborhood and school friends better.
Our first trick or treaters were Hannah (Princess Belle) and Ella. They joined us as we all went trick or treating down the street. Tonight Katherine and Caroline chose to be "Fancy Nancy" and Snow White.


Aren't these 3 of the cutest girls you have ever seen? Katherine as Fancy Nancy, Phoebe as a ballerina and Hannah as a princess.

We love our next door neighbor Ms. Betty (even if they do have a longhorn flag). She loved seeing all of the kids in costume.


I made Katherine and Caroline their treat bags.

Caroline inspects her loot.
Here is our pumpkin doing his job for the night.
Katherine and Caroline love the pumpkin.
Katherine had to inspect her loot. We were going to have her trade it in for a big treat but never got around to it. She asked for a piece of candy that night and the next day and then forgot about it.
We had a great evening trick or treating down our street. We are lucky to live on a street where there are tons of kids and it is really a fun night. It was our first year to trick or treat so I was not really anticipating the bigger kids that were wearing scary costumes. I think that Katherine handled it all well and we tried to talk about it when we got home. She would shine her flashlight and say, "it's just pretend."

Precious! Honored to be your first trick or treaters and great to go with you all! Let's pray for the girls together before next year.

Great idea to pray together. I will certainly be more prepared next year.
