Trick or Treat!

What a nice night for Trick or Treating! Not too cold, and it was still light outside.





Anyway...this year was Mackenzee's first year to go out begging for candy. :0) We only went around our little circle, as that was about all she could handle. Even with just the few houses we hit, they got quite a load. We took Toby with us for his first official "walk". It was horrible. He hated his leash and Jaysen ended up having to take him back home and bringing out the pooper scooper as Toby felt the need to "eliminate" on a neighbor's lawn. Sigh. Needless to say, we did not ring that doorbell!


We did end up having to completely cover up Kenzee's cute costume with her coat. So, nobody got to see how completely adorable she was. Landon's costume had plenty of padding and so he kept warm just fine. He was such a good big brother too, helping Mackenzee ring a few of the doorbells. She really wanted to do her part, but she's just not quite tall enough. It's a good thing she's got Landon. :0)
The best part about the whole night was Mackenzee's excitement over all of it. She was in awe that all she had to do was hold out a bucket and people would give her candy. At each door, as soon as someone answered and brought out their big bowl of candy, she would scream, "canny!" It makes you wonder what must be going through her mind. ;0)
Landon was sure that we needed to go to more houses. That he didn't have enough candy. But, he got to finish the night off by passing out the treats to the kids that came to our house. "I'm the best candy giver, huh mom" So, I guess the night turned out good anyway. ;0)
