Trick or Treat?!

Tonight was Beggar's Night, that uniquely Iowa phenomenon that sends kids door to door the night before Halloween for reasons that I am certain are vaguely paranoid. The kids were sky-high with anticipation, especially Ava.  It was a beautiful night and the kids burned off some energy and donned some cowboy hats in preparation for trick or treat time.

Ava and her friend Eli...









We started our trick or treating adventure at Papa Ray and Grandma Jo's house with our ghost (in the costume Ava so very proudly made with her Grandma Jo) and our lady-bug...









With Papa Ray and Grandma Jo...









We paid a quick visit to Grandma Jane and the rest of the night passed in a sugar induced haze. We've closed up shop, started bathtime and packed up the leftover candy to share with our colleagues at the office tomorrow.  

Happy Halloween!
