Halloween 2014

Halloween was fairly uneventful this year.  We knew that we had to get up early the next morning to drive to the Aggie game, so we planned to trick or treat early and get home at a reasonable time.  The Trunk or Treat that we always attend started at 5:45 so as soon as we finished dinner, we got dressed in our costumes.  Parker chose to be a ninja this year and the girls were going to be fairies. But at the last minute, Lily decided that she wanted nothing to do with the Tinkerbell costume I had bought her and changed to a princess dress.   She also wanted nothing to do with taking pictures before we left but thankfully had found her happy heart by the time we got to the church.
 
We started inside playing games and all three kids did great!  They all participated and had fun winning prizes!
Next, we went outside to get candy at the Trunk or Treat.  I'm still not sure what happened, but at one of the very first trunks, something upset Eden and she started crying.  Nothing Cory and I did could settle her down, so we finished up as fast as we could and headed home.

On the way home we stopped at two houses- Mrs. Becky's and Mrs. Brightwell's.  We have been going to their houses since Parker was a baby so we had to continue our tradition.  Eden was still upset and would not even get out of the car.
We got home so early that Cory and I suggested that the kids stand at the door and hand out candy to the trick or treaters in our neighborhood.  In all the years we have lived there, we have never handed out candy.  The kids absolutely loved it!  It was their favorite part of the entire night! Cory and I loved watching how excited they all got when someone knocked on the door.   We decided that from now on, we will spend our Halloween handing out candy after we go to Mr. Reed's Trunk or Treat. 

Despite Eden's meltdown, we had a fun Halloween night together.  As always, there was way too much candy consumed but that's what Halloween is for, right?
