Finally Some Trick or Treat!

Our Trick or Treat this year was postponed by that lovely weather system Sandy.  We did not have any dangerous weather, really, just a solid week of rain and a bit of stiff wind one evening.  But, actual Halloween was very wet and very chilly, so it worked out that it was postponed until November 3.

So, on the third, we headed out with our costumes.  And since it was a Saturday, we had a bit of extra time to go see Aunt Cedes and Uncle D before heading to Miss Laura's for official Trick or Treat.





Gillian wasn't quite feeling the whole "trick or treat" thing just yet.  Despite being quite adept at it last year, she seemed reluctant to participate at Uncle D's house!  Fortunately, after a HUGE pizza dinner, she perked right up and got in the swing of things!

Waiting for pizza...YUM.




When we got to Miss Laura's there was all of this fun:







And then we were OFF!









After about 15-20 houses our  buckets were full, our noses cold, and the kids were tired.  So we headed back to Ian, Julia, and AJ's house.  And then it was PARTY time!  Mr. AJ's birthday happens to fall on Halloween, so Miss Laura and Mr. Kenny had invited all the neighbors (and us, the neighborhood crashers) for cupcakes and drinks post-trick-or-treat! 

Look what Miss Laura made!


Birthday Boy!  The big TWO!


Recharging after all that work.


Buzz needed to check out Thomas.


And then it was time for cupcakes!

What a fun, fun night! And a LATE one!  Colin and Gillian certainly enjoyed the heck out of Halloween this year!  Candy, skeletons, ghosts...LOVED it all.
