Halloween Festivities!!!

Well, I hope everyone had a good Halloween! Ours was busy. Auntie Cole and I worked diligently pretty much every day last week to get costumes ready. Bug's was already made we just had to add embellishments to it and decide how we were going to do some of the decorations on it. Bitty's needed to be sized and finished a bit here and there. I crocheted stuff like a mad woman; Bug's treat bag, Bitty's treat bag, Bitty's hat, a cute little bag that would have been part of bug's costume but we made some last minute changes to her costume so it became a cute decoration for the house instead, and I attempted to get my witch's hat done but ran out of time. :( I'm still going to finish it though. Every Good witch needs a good hat. :)

Bug had a Halloween parade at school and we kinda decided that her official costume this year was just too pretty for her to wear to school. We didn't want anything to happen to it before the big trick-or-treat night. So we used her witch costume from last year with a few extras (her "perfect" pink sparkly shoes) and she looked super cute for school. :) We also dressed up Bitty in one of Bug's old costumes that day so she wouldn't feel left out. (When we got to school it seemed to be the thing to do with younger siblings who were hanging around for the parade....so, score one for Mama for being on the ball!)

We had trick-or-treat actually on Halloween this year!!! *GASP* I know shocker right? Nanny, Papa, Dee Dee, Grandpa Terry, Mimi, Uncle Logan, Uncle Josh (another *gasp* moment for sure), Auntie Cole, Lauren and her boyfriend Neel all came up and ate food and got to see the girls go trick-or-treating and just had a fun time. (Although Josh informs me he didn't have a fun time.....he's grumpy :oP ) Bug was sort of grumpy at the beginning so there aren't many pics of her because she was too busy being whiny and grumpy but I was able to snap a few. They are all below, so enjoy!! :)

Bug and Bitty on the day Bug had her Halloween party at school. Super cute both of them!! The third picture is Bitty running around the gym of Bug's school while we were waiting for their parade to start. :)



Bitty getting ready to go trick-or-treating.



Bitty waiting with all the neighbor kids outside while Bug finished getting ready.




Daddy and his girls. :)



The local fire station had a truck go around the neighborhood and the firemen passed out candy to the kids. It was really cool.



Finally! We got Bug to pose for the camera. She doesn't have her wings on but at least she's showing off her pretty dress and her "perfect" pink sparkly shoes.




Here's Bitty watching Daddy pass out candy. She was banging on the glass with the package of Goobers she has in her hand.....



This was just a really cute picture of Bitty. :)


The girls, now finished with trick-or-treating and out of their costumes with Auntie Cole watching Daddy take a picture. :)
