Tricks and Treats

Halloween was a much bigger deal for us this year now that Emery is 3 years old. A friend of mine gave us a Sleeping Beauty dress and a Cinderella dress. Emery was "Aurora" and her little friend was the Cinderella. Emery was really excited to be a princess with her friend.

Our Halloween festivities started on Thursday with a trick or treat at Gavin's work. Emery was pretty shy and took awhile to warm up, but the fact that she got candy if she said trick or treat was pretty good motivation to be somewhat friendly.

At Dad's work. Aurora and Prince Philip!

Right after Gavin's work we headed to our church for the annual Trunk or Treat. Gavin had the young men he is in charge of design our trunk the day before. I think they did a pretty good job! They were really proud of it and came and set it up and hung around the car admiring their work. I'd be sooooo happy if it became a tradition to have them do our trunk every year...I don't love decorating it. 

On Halloween we went out to dinner with some friends then Gavin took Emery trick or treating around our neighborhood. After 3 trick-or-treats in a row, Emery is loaded with candy. I let her pick some pieces and we put the rest up. She is a sugar fiend so I can't let her have it all at her disposal or it would be gone in an hour.

At IHOP, with a free pumpkin face pancake since she came in costume. 

 The Beautiful Aurora! She loved that dress so much and was in heaven that she got to wear it two days in a row. 

It was a fun and festive Halloween over here. Hope yours "treated" you well too!
