Halloween was such a fun affair this year with these two little ones that were so excited! Seoul has been wanting to be Rapunzel for a long time, so her wish was granted. Sydney spontaneously answered with "lady bug" one day, and so that was done as well. We got great use out of the costumes as we attended the many Halloween events lined up.
Event #1: My mom's ward Halloween party. The wig lasted on Seoul for just a few minutes before she was done. And of course Sydney kept pulling off her headband. Aren't they cute?!
Event #2 - Our ward chili feed and trunk-or-treat. The girls had a lot of fun going from car to car. Sydney learned real quick to say "trick or treat" but was pretty quiet compared to the older kids. Kelley did a bang-up job decorating our trunk and scaring kids with our infamous candy bowl.
Event #3 - Halloween Party at our friend Ellie's house. Lots of activities and games! Seoul had the idea to put flower barrettes in her hair like Rapunzel has flowers in her hair (in lieu of the wig).
Event #4 - Kelley's work. It's tradition to go up to have lunch with him and participate in his office trick-or-treating. Everyone loved the girls... who doesn't? Seoul spoke up. Sydney was a cheeseball! She had everyone laughing because she insisted on carrying multiple packages of candy at once.
Event #5 - downtown Canby. We met up with my mom, Uncle David, and Aunt Mindee for some more festivities. We participated in the costume parade first. Then we went to some business and got candy. The girls loved going to the library for their holiday crafts. They even got to choose a free book! Seoul chose The Velveteen Rabbit and Sydney chose Planes. As we walked, Sydney would call out, "Hurry! Hurry!" and try and clomp faster in her little rain boots.
Event #6 - finally... trick-or-treating Halloween night! We went over to Evan & Dana's house for a yummy soup dinner. Then the kids went trick-or-treating for a bit. We didn't stay out long... surprisingly we didn't see very many others out. The girls were troopers - a lot of walking today! They were pretty excited about all their candy.
This was a very fun holiday! I was pleased with the girls' manners and their enthusiasm! Until next year!
Oh, and I missed selling the candy to the dentist here in Canby. We are still munching on it over a month later... the girls have all but forgotten about it so it's a fun treat every once in a while for them.

So many festivities at Halloween with kids it is sorta crazy! But they look adorable. And Seoul's idea to add barrettes to her hair was so cute and clever!
