Halloween

We made it through Charlotte's third Halloween and Olivia's first. Charlotte, you were just 2 months old on your first Halloween. We dressed you up as a ladybug and went to a neighborhor's house for a party. You did not enjoy the costume and ended up out of it and back home pretty quickly. But at least we got one picture!

The following year we experienced our first Halloween in Clarksville, TN in our awesome neighborhood, Poplar Hill. Charlotte, you were just over a year old and didn't really get the whole Halloween thing. You helped us hand out candy and went to bed early. Your silly daddy loves to dress up for Halloween and was "Mr. Ladybug" to go along with your butterfly costume.

This year we had to use the "divide and conquer" approach. Your daddy took Charlotte out for trick or treating while I stayed home and passed out candy because Olivia was already asleep for the night. Though we did get some pictures of you two while we waited for daddy to get home.

Once daddy got home, he and Charlotte took off down the block. I stayed home and handed out candy to the droves of children who live in our neighborhood. After awhile, daddy brought you back and let me take you out with our friends, Laura, Brian, and Braden Major. You had a ball trick or treating with your buddy, Braden. You two held hands and talked about the scary houses and how to say "Trick or Treat" when you get to the door. You've grown SO much in the last two years. I am amazed at what a little girl you have become!

 At the end of the night, we let Charlotte pick her favorite candies out of her bag. You chose M&M's and gummy snacks. We put the rest of your candy in our bucket and handed it back out to the kids who were still trick or treating. You were very sweet to hand out your candy to other children. We love you girls and can't wait to experience so many more fun holidays with you.
