What a lovely little Halloween we had. The day started off rainy and cold, but come trick-or-treating time, it was gorgeous and sunny.
This was the fifth (yes, fifth!) time the kids had worn their costumes in just over a week, but I hadn’t managed to get any good pictures of the two of them together yet. And we all know if there aren’t pictures, it didn’t happen 😉
With a little help from Gigi & Papa, we were able to get both Pocahontas and her cowboy sidekick looking at the camera and smiling (ish) at the same time. I just love this picture!
But let’s be honest…most of the pictures looked like these.
Until Nash just gave up completely.

We started making the rounds with our neighbor friends at 5:00 on the dot. Yep, we were those people…but what are you gonna do when the Royals play at 7?!?
This was the first year that Arden really got it–and that was magical. She ran excitedly from house to house and may have gone a little overboard on the doorbell ringing…but I doubt anyone minded when they opened the door to these cuties 🙂
As if the full-sized candy bars weren’t memorable enough, these neighbors were rocking their costumes. So so good!
Even Nash got in on the candy bar action!
After we dominated our corner of the neighborhood, we decided to head over and see some friends on the other side…because we just didn’t have enough candy yet 😉
Our plan was to lay the kids down at Sarah’s house that night so we could stay late and watch the game with friends…and Arden was just as excited as we were! I overheard her telling a random lady, “Brantley’s going to sleep in his mommy and daddy’s room tonight and I’m going to sleep in his room.” A simple ‘trick or treat’ probably would’ve worked, Arden! 😉
This picture says it all. “One more house, pleaaaase!” The chocolate smeared face is a nice touch too!
We ended the night with some delicious spiked cider and a Royal’s victory. A perfect little Halloween night!
And now…let the candy detox begin. Can someone please come take it all away? 😉
Adorable!! So cute having a child that really enjoys the trick or treating now x
Too cute! Love their costumes!
Such adorable photos! Glad to hear you had such a great Halloween! P.S. I'm with you on the candy detox! I think I've had way more than Odette in the last two days lol.
That first picture is so perfect!!! And what was the MLB thinking scheduling a game during trick or treating hours?!
SO CUTE!!! I love their outfits! And I love that you went early enough to get some good pictures too. All my pictures are like pitch black or I had to use the flash to bling poor Mason to get a semi-decent one lol. You can truly see how excited Arden was to trick or treat in that one picture where she's totally running to the house. Looks like you guys had a great Halloween!
Love!!! I'm already looking forward to Halloween next year! 🙂
They both look so adorable in their costumes! I love your assortment of pumpkins too! Happy Monday!
Adorable! Between candy and Lily Caroline's birthday cake, I'm slipping into a sugar coma! ?
ADORABLE! You got some fantastic pictures. It rained all night for us so I had to put our camera away and use my phone and they turned out pretty bad! Love your front porch!
Your pictures are perfect! They had the cutest costumes!! We didn't get a lot of candy at all–which is probably a good thing for my sake haha.
Your pictures are fantastic! I totally lol'd at the out takes. Too funny!
Their costumes are SO FREAKING CUTE!!!
Full sized candy bars? Your neighbors ROCK. Bonus points for stellar costumes.
Love their costumes!! Looks like a blast! And why is it so difficult to take pictures of littles? Seriously!! 🙂
So cute! Ashlynn is Arden's door bell ringing soul sister… it was out of control. I love full size candy bar houses, we used to trick or treat one neighbor as kids (middle school age) just because of the houses with the big bars. And I'm noting the neighbors costumes, they are great!
They are so, so, so cute!!!!! I agree, the most magical year!
They are adorable!!!
I sent every piece of leftover candy to work with Chris this morning. Out of the my house!! I love listening to the random conversations Aria gets into with the candy givers. Such random observations!
Love the costumes…I think you have inspired me for my kids costumes next year! 🙂 And those neighbors of yours…I'm jealous!! Full size candy bars AND awesome costumes? So fun.
They look so cute! And great use of the costumes!!! It stinks when they only get to wear them once! Your neighbors are hilarious, the old couple is too funny!
