Halloween 2011

This year was a lot of fun as both girls were able to enjoy it at a whole new level. Maise went up to all the houses and actually said "Trick or Treat" and "Thank You"! Nessa held her bag for the most part and even walked up to a house or two. She was still pretty shy but I was sure impressed!

We tackled 3 days...actually 4 days of happy Halloween Activities! And enjoyed every minute with our friends and cousins!

Halloween weekend started off with a visit from our friends Johnny and Lisa and their mom Liz. They came over and we set up supplies to paint pumpkins! It was awesome! We got a little dirty, got a little creative, and had a lot of fun!

Our second night of Halloween we met our friends Josh and Hailey and their mommy and daddy Autumn and Philip at Spring hill Mall for some indoor trick or treating. I will be honest I did not expect Spring hill to be very busy but they were! The mall was out of candy in about a half hour. Pretty cool! For mall trick or treating we dug into our costume box and recycled some old costumes. For the mall we had Maise the cowgirl and Nessa aka Mickey the Mouse!

Day three we drove out to Round Lake for a little cousin and friends trick or treating! The girls and I met with their cousins Vito and Rocco and mommies cousins Darryl and Angel. Godmother Erica, Ted and their kids Mr. Dylan and Mr. Christian! First house we stopped at we got a big bag of Skittles and a full sleeve of Starbursts! Rockin'..it was meant to be a good day! We had a lot of fun even when we got twisted up at the end and kind of got lost. For day three we went back to the play clothes and Maise was a bubble princess and Nessa was a Bears cheerleader. Crazy that just a year ago Maise was in the very same costume.

And for the finale the real deal HALLOWEEN DAY! We had an awesome day with 2 adorable 1st timers...to Halloween that is! Maise and Nessa got to go trick or treating with Uncle C and the twins!!! Elie was an adorable Princess Lea and CJ was a very scary Darth Vador! Maise was a ladybug and Nessa was a bee! We all met at my house and did some Morton grove trick or treating and had a blast. It got a little cold so we only did a few blocks but we did it together! After candy grubbin' we went back to the house and had pizza and played in the girls' new room. One of the best Halloween Holidays of all time!
