Halloween - Part 2

Addison was up bright and early Saturday morning, and the first thing out of her mouth was “It’s Halloweeeeeeeeeeen!!!!!!!!!!!”  It was great to see her so excited for the fun day ahead.  She started out the day baking a cake with Nana for her Great-Grandpa John’s birthday! IMG_1074 IMG_1080

Next we were off to run some errands before getting ready for our little party that night!  After a yummy (and easy!) dinner from Papa Murphy’s it was time to sing Happy Birthday to Grandpa John.  Addison is just learning the Happy Birthday song so she had fun singing along and she even got to help blow out the candles.

After cake we bundled the girls up in their costumes to head out for some trick-or-treating.  Of course we had to snap a few pictures before we left.DSC07986 DSC07984 With Grandpa & Grandma

After all the pics we headed out!  Our first stop of the night was at Auntie Tricia & Uncle David’s house (about 2 minutes up the road).  Tricia had fun bringing the girls to trick or treat at her neighbors houses…such a proud Auntie!

Next we were off to meet up with Addison’s friends Chase & Joey for some crazy toddler trick-or-treating!!  Sophie and her friends, Stella & Reese, weren’t quite ready to trick-or-treat this year ;)

One of the neighbors had a great set up for the kids to roast marshmallows - and they had coffee and hot cider for the parents.  It was a fun stop…and they even handed out 6 packs of mini Butterfingers!!

We did our best to get a group picture…but didn’t have much luck.

One of the last houses we visited had me cracking up.  It looked like they were having a big discussion about who was going to knock on the door.  Too funny!

We finished up the night with some Baileys and hot chocolate at the Quinlans…perfect way to end the night!

Finally - Reese and Sophie…happy to be out of their costumes!

It was a fun Halloween … Addison is still asking when it’s going to be here again!  It’s hard to believe that next year we’ll have two little trick-or-treaters to chase after!!  Hope you all had a great holiday.
