Halloween

We had a great time last night trick-or-treating with the kids. Hailey was just a little peanut this time last year. :) We joked that she looked like a pumpkin because she still had some jaundice color to her skin. Now she is walking! Amazing all that happens in a year's time.

We took the kids to the College Hill area this year which is known for being a major spot to trick-or-treat. It actually has a street nicknamed "Halloween Street" and they block off traffic for two blocks. These people certainly go all out and the whole city must have wanted to see. By 7:00 the sidewalks were so packed we opted to walk in the street with the wagon. I mean there were hundreds and hundreds of people.

 Dianna and Gracie came with us for a little bit which was fun.

 The decorations on this street were INSANE. I can't believe people put so much time and money into this stuff. The theme of this house below was the Wizard of Oz. There was another house further down the street that had a Candy Land theme. There were also some pretty scary houses, but we tried to steer clear of those. I much prefer my sweet and innocent little Thomas the train and ladybug to the Scream costumes. :)

 We let Hailey walk up to a few doors, but she was pretty slow and the large costume was really throwing her balance off. So, she mostly sat in the wagon and tried to eat through all the candy wrappers while I trick-or-treated with Eli. :)

 We had a great time with these two. They were good sports even though we kept them up a little later than normal. And Marc and I enjoyed some of their loot once we put them to bed. :)
