Mickey and Minnie Mouse on Halloween

Mickey (Kate) and Minnie (Lily) had a blast during the Halloween festivities. This was the first year they understood what it was all about...candy/costumes, but they still needing a little prodding for the trick or treating. Here they are posing in their duds...

Kate gets her whiskers painted...

Her first look in the mirror...

Lily trying her dress on for the first time...

Getting to surprise Daddy with our costumes when he got home...

Meeting the Downings at our church's carnival...

They are not afraid of the rides! (the people are a different story)...

Thanks Tim and Robin (our children's pastor and wife) for working so hard so we could have fun at the carnival!

Riding the carousel with Laura Joy...

Daddy showing off his little girls...

Not so sure about Trick or Treating (a little too close for comfort)...

...but we warmed up fairly soon. This is what I love about living in a cul-de-sac - Kate and Lily know all the neighbors well, so this wasn't so overwhelming.

Now we are cooking with gas...

Looking over the evening's loot in her bed... (it brought back so many memories of childhood Halloween candy - eating the best stuff first, hiding it from my sister, begging mom for more, sorting the candy and sorting it again).
