Halloween 2008

We had such a great time tonight! We went trick or treating in the neighborhood and went to TWO Fall Festivals! Tanner looked soooo cute, and she really enjoyed seeing all of the kids up and down our street. Speaking of which, our neighborhood was CRAZY!!! I don't even know how to explain how many people come here to trick or treat. There were cars lined up down the street outside of the neighborhood. It was hard to even back out of our driveway to leave. We had a really good time, though. I guess next year we will either stay home and hand out candy after we trick or treat, or start early and go to the Fall Festival before the rush comes. We waited outside for a few minutes for our friends Cassie and JP to get to the house to take pictures of Tanner and Maddy in their costumes and we kept having to tell people that we didn't have candy. It was sad =( We didn't get candy because we thought we would be gone all night. Cassie and JP had a hard time getting to our house because of all of the traffic and people. It really was crazy! Tanner didn't know what to think about her costume. At first she tried to pull it off, but she got used to it pretty quick. Every time she leaned forward, though, her "feathers" on her head would cover her eyes and she couldn't see anything. It was pretty funny! Here are some pictures. They are uploaded from the end of the night to the beginning, rather than the other way around.

This was at the second fall festival that we went to. They had a toddler area with a lot of cars and ride-ons. She was tired by this point, so she wasn't too enthusiastic.




She loved carrying her candy holder like a purse. She carried it around all night. She would dump the candy and put it back in. It was so cute.

We saw Christel and Chloe at the first Fall Festival that we went to and Chloe was wearing the same costume. They were twins! Chloe looked really cute!
Cassie bought Tanner some "Halloween" puffs (Cassie tied an orange ribbon around the container) and Tanner was stuffing her face with them in the car.
Tanner and Maddy not wanting a whole lot to do with each other....
They looked so cute from behind!
Maddy was a ladybug
Again with the purse!

This was a sucker that someone gave her. She was trying to bite through the wrapper.

This was another sucker that our backyard neighbors, Elgin and Lana, gave her. She instantly put it in her mouth, wrapper and all, and started sucking on it as if she already knew what to do!

Getting ready to go trick or treating!
Not loving the costume!


The feathers kept falling in her eyes but she never seemed to mind too much.

This is what she wore to school today.
