Halloween!

After some costume issues last night, I got up this morning and fixed Ava's dress.  She struggled to get in and out of it due to the lining so I ripped that out and changed the bottom bubble so that the dress was a little longer.  Ended up being just as cute and now she can get in and out with no problems.

The church trunk or treat we were going to go to, got cancelled so instead we headed down the street to a neighbor's house who invited all the kiddos to go trick or treating.  Here's Ava striking a happy pose.

The start of trick or treating.  I promise we were excited and having fun but for some reason Ava & I look confused.  Had to include the photo though as we don't have too many photos of us together.  Btw, the shirt barely lets you know I am pregnant...good job hiding although I am much smaller this time thanks to starting off 10 lbs lighter.

We followed a big group of older kids around the neighborhood which was nice b/c they ran so fast that we never went to a house that did not have candy/answer the door.  They easily let us know which houses were Halloween ready. 

 And apparently we did not get the memo from the neighborhood that all kids were going to dress in dark colors and wear scary costumes.  Ava's Strawberry costume stood out and it was fun to see her little figure standing amongst all the big kids as she waited for candy.

 Pure joy!  Look at that face!

 After doing just one block (it took awhile and Ava got a ridiculous amount of candy), we headed home so Ava could hand out candy...she loves it!  I think she likes it almost as much as trick or treating herself.

 It got really dark and we had a lot more visitors this year than last year.  I ended up going in the house earlier than Darren & Ava b/c I thought no one else would come but they knew to wait a little longer b/c even more people showed up!
