Trick or Treat

Well this weekend has been very eventful, and it's not even over yet. So far we have dressed up, been trick or treating, ate too much left over candy, went to a pumpkin patch, walked through a corn maze, cooked s'mores over a campfire, watched OU beat Nebraska AND Texas Tech beat Texas (yes!), and now before we even get to Sunday we get to set our clocks back for an extra hour of sleep. Amen.

I'll get to our fun pumpkin patch experiences tomorrow, but for now, I know everyone is dying to see pictures of our sweet little Dorothys on Halloween. And I will keep you waiting no more.....

This was taken before we left our house to drive over to our good friends Reed and Nikki's house to go trick or treating with their kids Eli and Parker. Eli is the same age as the girls, so it's going to be interesting to see which one of mine ends of marrying him one day. =)

Hannah practicing walking in her ruby slippers. They had their hands full carrying Toto and a candy collecting bucket, but they handled the pressure just fine.

Hannah looking angelic.

We met up with our other friends Mike and Sara and their three boys Drake, Dax, and Dane. Here's the whole crew dressed up and ready to get some candy. And candy they did get. Mike and I have been shamelessly eating out of their buckets. Is this wrong?

It was the girls first time to actually go door to door to trick or treat. Up until now we've "haunted the zoo" or gone to a local fall festival. But this experience was like reliving my own childhood Halloween nights-- dressing up, waiting for the sun to go down, teaming up with other kids, and simply going around the neighborhood together. The girls did so good too. They even rememberd to say, "thank you" to each person doling out the candy. We were proud of them and loved creating this fun family memory.

And they loved it too.......
