Halloween

After multiple stops on the way to Granny's house due to Caleigh's asthma, we finally made it.  Caleigh was excited to get to see her cousins and begin trick or treating.  When we got there, Chad pulled out his phone and played the theme song from Jake and the Neverland Pirates as Caleigh approached Granny's front door.  She was uber excited.

 She was disappointed that Granny did not answer the door.  Instead, Megan, Molly, and Mish did, though she was happy to see them as well.

We all ate dinner at Granny's house and Granny gave everyone some Halloween goodie bags.

Then, Shelby and Dakota changed into their costumes and we attempted to take some pictures of the three of them.

Next, the girls loaded up for trick or treating.  The first house HAD to be Granny's.

 While at Granny's front door, Granddaddy came home from work!  The girls heard him pulling in and rushed to meet him at his truck.  Trick or Treat Granddaddy!

 We got the girls to take a few pics with Granny and Granddaddy, (not an easy task)

and then we all hit the street. What used to be an awesome place to trick or treat, now had people turning off their lights and heading inside when they saw us coming. It was very disheartening.

One house just left out toys on the front porch.  

 Kota liked their ghost.

 Another house went and got some candy and asked us to come back.

And that was it.  No more houses on that street.  So, I invited everyone to join us at a local church for a Trunk or Treat.  Molly refused and said she was going to her mother-in-law's house and Megan said she wasn't feeling well and just wanted to go home. Although, Megan and Molly did meet up later and go trick or treating together at Molly's mother-in-law's.  Mish decided she would go with us.

When we got to the church, they were packing everything up.  They were done earlier than expected.  Since Caleigh still wanted to try to trick or treat somewhere, we went to the next closest subdivision.  And boy are we glad we did!

That particular subdivision goes all out for Halloween!  Their houses are decorated very elaborately, their streets are closed off by local police, and there are children and candy everywhere!  We let Caleigh walk the entire neighborhood at her own pace and she had a blast! I think that place may be our destination of choice from now on!

After all the houses had been hit, we still had one more stop before our Halloween night was over,

Nonnie's house!

After visiting with Nonnie for a little while, we called it a night!

And a very Happy Halloween night it was!
