Halloween 2009

Halloween was a lot of fun. The weather couldn't have been better, we met some great new people, the girls looked awesome in their costumes, and there was no sibling fighting (thanks to Ally spending most of the evening with her friends).

Ally went Trick-or-Treating with her friend Samantha from across the street, and her new "very good friend" Nathan from school. N's parents took on the threesome and drove them to two neighboring subdivisions, choosing to follow in the car rather than try to keep up with the running group of candy monsters.The three of them came back with at least 8-10 lbs of candy each!!

Ally was dressed as the vampire Jane of the Volturi, from the Twilight Series. Obviously, Angie dressed as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.

Angie stayed behind to eat some pizza, but was soon invited out to join a group of about 10 little munchkins that visited our house and just about cleaned out our candy bowl. We turned out the lights and joined the mob, puppy dog leading the way. No, that is not lipstick on her lips... we think she found some red frosting on the ground somewhere... hmmm....

This is Angie's buddy, Cooper. He lives in our neighborhood, and is also in Angie's class at school. He invited her to join his little clan after she'd given out candy to all of them.

Ma and Pa Strickland stopped by for a few minutes to see the girls and to share some goodies.
