Trick or treat

This year, we were treated to wonderful weather for trick-or-treating.  Past years have been very cold or rainy and windy.  Last night, however, was cool enough to feel like Halloween but still warm enough where the kids didn't need jackets over their costumes to stay warm.

And what an incredible time they had.  We started at the neighborhood village center.  There was music, lots of neighbors dressed up in fun costumes, and trick-or-treating at the different stores.  Franny was a little overwhelmed with the older kids in spooky costumes, but she quickly got into the festivities, shouting Trick-or-Treat and Happy Halloween!  It was a little crowded to get Cole into the action, but he soon got his chance when we returned to trick-or-treat in the blocks closer to our home.  We couldn't get him to say trick-or-treat, but he learned very quickly how to pick out his own treats.  After getting more candy than all of us will ever eat (but having too much fun to quit), we headed home where both Franny and Cole had just as much fun passing out candy to the neighborhood kids.  Such a fun night!
