Trick or Treat 2012

Halloween was a big hit this year!  Madeline was very sure of what she wanted to be this year:

A PINK fairy, of course.

Grandma and Grandpa joined us.  Grandma likes to walk around with us.  Grandpa does a great job holding down the fort and passing out candy.

Grandma got into our stash of candy pre-trick or treating for quality control purposes, and where's there's Grandma with a treat, there will be two Stewart girls.

Amelia was going to be Blues Clues, but she wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with the costume.  So I decided it didn't matter when you are 22 months old and cute as a button.  Luckily, we have seasonal clothes, and this spider outfit was perfect.  And, yes, she insisted on wearing this ridiculous hat.  :)  We went with it.  However, Amelia held her own like a champ out on the streets.  She carried her bucket, said please and thank you, and in some cases, weaseled her way through the big kids to get to the front door.  She had no fear.  She also had to learn that you only stand on the front porch.  I lost track of how many houses she wandered into about to make herself right at home.

Trick or treating at some of our closest friends down the street.

Mr. Shannon has been blessed with only boys, so he loves my girls like his own.

Our friends, Brian, Jen, and Holston came to the hood to trick or treat.  Brian wanted Holston to have a photo opp with the Clemson Tiger, but as you can see Holston wasn't exactly keen on the idea.

We had a fantastic night & two very tired children!  All in all, a great Halloween for the Stewart girls.
