This year Allie was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Avery was a witch. Now, Allie had no idea who Dorothy was when we first got her costume so we went and borrowed the movie and she's been hooked ever since. We've been to a few functions where the girls could get dressed up....gymnastics...trunk or treat at our church.....a Spooktacular Parade/costume judging contest and then the ever talked about Trick or Treating!!

So, first was Trunk or Treat, which wasn't actually a "trunk" or treat. But, anyhow, it was fun for Allie to get dressed up and walk around the church to go trick or treating......and play a few games. (she won a cupcake on her first time around in the cake walk!) Poor Avery was still feeling really sick from whatever kind of bug she had so it was just Allie and I out that night. unfortunately, we didn't actually take pics at the event.....but you can tell Allie was excited to be in her costume
Next up was the Spooktacular Parade! This actually exceeded our expectations. We got there for the girls to be judged and almost immediately we knew there was no way our cute little girls would be winning anything. There were so many AMAZING costumes....and the age groups our girls were in were definitely the stiffest competition. Then, little did we know, we were a part of the parade! It was cool to walk down and have everyone along side the streets looking at US. It reminded me of the good ole' days in Stockwell when we always went to our costume contest/parade....great memories!! So we get there and sign the girls up and go sit down....the guy next to us has some popcorn so Avery goes and mooches some off of him :)
Daddy went and got her her own after that

here you can see the Cinderella Coach that won 2nd place in Allie's age group. Cinderella was in there......everyone that won had a prop like this.....they were really cool.
Foy's is a big thing downtown....they are so into Halloween!
Trick or treating was so fun for Allie this year. We went along with her best friends, Adeline and Abby. She was literally running from door to door this year! Too cute! And little Avery enjoyed her first trick or treating experience too. Although, I think she had had enough after just a couple of houses....it was just too chilly out and her bucket got heavy fast! THE GROUP
trick or treat!
The cutest witch there ever was :)

Here are a few pics of the pumpkin Allie painted and one of the pumpkins we carved...



Hope everyone else had a Happy Halloween as well!!!
