Thursday night was beggars night in Ankeny, and for the first time in years, this household partook. After Everlee's 3 1/2 hour nap, we got her dressed, fed her dinner, and waited for the Miller family to come join us.
Abby Cadabby!!! BIG thank you to Grandma CoCo for making this one of a kind costume!! Everelee loved it, and looked absolutely adorable in the creation.
Abby and her bestie Elmo ready to start this trick or treating business.
First house we stopped at had a Skelton in the bushes, creepy music, and a faux bloody door that said go away. Everlee was not fond of this house, cried, and
turned to run away. Mr. Farmer could not entice her to the front door with the pot of candy, but was kind enough to come out, set the candy down, and let Evs cautiously help herself. One house down. Couple more to go on this chilly night.
Second stop was a home that left out a bowl for trick or treaters to help themselves to one piece of candy. This was a good way to introduce the girls to picking out a special treat.
After a few houses the girls knew the drill, but it was so cold, we decided to head home, warm their bones, and hand out candy.
This part was a riot, and actually may have turned me into a fan of Halloween/beggars night. Every time the doorbell rang, Maci and Evs immediately dropped what they were doing, and sprinted to the door. Their little legs running as fast as the could, screeching, and laughing all the way to the door. They would eagerly greet the kids, stare at them, chat with them, and would even grab a piece of candy for themselves to put into their own bag. Then would run back to the living room, cackling like hyenas. So funny, these two!!
This was the best Halloween ever, and was hoping that seeing it through our daughters eyes, would change my opinion of the day. I will say that I may slowly be changing my tune, may be able to tolerate this day, and MAY even actually look forward to next years festivities. All because of this little fairy ;)
