Halloween Trick or Treating!

Trick or treating was SO much fun this year! I have to admit, having a kid really brings the fun back! Watching Charlie toddle around carrying his little candy bucket was just TOO CUTE. We were excited to go trick or treating down in Springville at my sister-in-law Meghan's house. She's probably got the BEST neighborhood to trick or treat in, ever! :) We are so lucky!

Here's our little family getting ready to go!

We popped Charlie in the wagon with his 2 year old cousin, Kelan! Pardon Charlie's somewhat solemn expression... he was a little tired, and also when there's just so much to see all around him, he just sits and concentrates while taking it all in. :)

One of the first houses... just learning the ropes with the help of his Daddy:

Grandpa Russ pulled the wagon:

Looking like such a big boy walking to and from the door holding his candy basket. Seriously... we couldn't stop laughing at how cute it was. Go Charlie, Go!!

More of the gang taking up the lead... you can see a bit of Grandma Jill's head, and then Grandpa Russ again, Scarlett, and Meghan!

Got the loot! There's my wonderful mother with her awesome festive pumpkin headband! ;)

Cute little Scarlett was Catwoman from the Dark Knight Rises movie! She looked awesome!

I could barely catch a picture of Meghan's older two boys: Kanyon and Cohen. They kept running (so much energy, those young people!!) from house to house ahead of us. Sometimes they had to be reminded to just wait for a minute, much to their chagrin ;)

Got the candy! On to the next house...

Oh yeah, we have to wait for little Charlie! C'mon buddy! Thanks for the help, Kimma! ;)

Grandma Jill took a turn with Charlie, and Kelan (Spiderman) is just holding his own ;)

Finally, the work is done! Time to EAT the candy!! Or try to, at least. Charlie would gnaw on the candy bars through the wrappers until they were pulverized, and sometimes he'd get lucky and puncture through a wrapper and get some of the good stuff!

"Happy Halloween!", says Charlie Pumpkin, all lit up:

Watch out for those creepy crawlies!

Until next year! Can't wait... Charlie will be able to do it all on his own!! <3
