Ok, sorry this has taken so long to get this updated. We have some great pictures of the girls in their halloween costumes, but I have yet to get them off the camera and onto the computer. The main reason is because all the really good pictures were taken by Paul's mom and she still has the memory card. =)
Until I get some pics, I'll do my best to describe the costumes. Angie dressed up as Hannah Montana, with a flashy outfit, boots, a blonde wig, and a little microphone to carry. She looked great! At times she grew tired of the wig and wanted to be plain old Miley Cyrus, but we couldn't stand to let her lose the awesome blonde locks. She was quite sassy, and even did some singing for us. Ally decided pretty early on that she wanted to dress as the Headless Horseman. However, rather than going headless she opted to wear a pumpkin on her head. So Paul and Ally worked hard for a week making a big pumpkin head from paper mache. For the rest of the outfit we cut up one of Paul's old shirts, which worked perfectly for a tatterd cloak. We borrowed some tall boots, threw in some black pants and a white dress shirt, and the look was complete. It turned out great, and Ally looked fantastic!
So, on Halloween night we were joined by Ma and Pa Strickland (Paul's parents), Aunty Jo-Jo, Aunty Michelle, Uncle Matt, and Little Mira (who was dressed in a lamb outfit - adorable!). For the first time in years, we were able to Trick-Or-Treat right in our own neighborhood. The days of apartment living and driving to other neighborhoods are, fortunately, in the past for us now! There was a pretty big crowd of kids and parents haunting the streets, and overall it was a very fun atmosphere. Ally and Angie took turns cruising along on the scooter, which helped relieve some of the tiredness. As expected, the girls returned home at the end of the night with a nice big healthy supply of candy. Even Mira, (with a little help) collected a fair amount of chocolate for her mommy.
So, that's it for now. Hopefully this weekend I'll get my hands on some pics! =)
