Trick-or-Treat

This was a week of parties and treats! The girls had three opportunities to wear their costumes. Sierra had her heart set on being a princess, so we were well prepared for that. She wore the beautiful dress that Marc's mom made for her last year. It still fit! Ally wanted to be a cowgirl so that she could clomp around in her beloved pink boots, but when she saw the overalls that I had planned she quickly opted for her Minnie Mouse costume...also a gift from Grandma and Grandpa Mouser. Lucky for us, not a dime was spent on costumes this year. They both looked so cute!

On Wednesday evening the girls dressed up for the "trunk-or-treat" at church before AWANA. It was a great trial run for the whole trick-or-treat idea. They enjoyed seeing their friends in all their costumes as well. This morning we had a great party over at the Garret, Carson and Graham's house. (If you want to see their amazing costumes look here.) And then tonight was the grand finale of the week, going door-to-door in our neighborhood. Sierra marched around several blocks in her plastic click-clack shoes and bravely rang all the door bells. Ally was a little more timid, but we think she had a good time.

Party time with 20 other little kids!

Annie came over for a quick visit on Halloween.

Sorting through the loot!

And yes, even Mom (Grandma Phyllis) had to get in on the Scrabble prank:
