The night was perfect.
The kids knew the drill.
Trick or Treat at every door!
What were we this year? We had 2 princesses (same as last year) and a Thomas the Train! Started the evening at 4:30 knocking on doors - and were very surprised when the kids weren't scared of the neighbors on the other side! Treat were collected by 5:00, then off to eat dinner. My favorite part was AFTER the meal. The kids sat in the front yard and passed out the candy to OTHER trick-or-treaters!... well, the girls did. James was content to sit in the dirt and play with his train. The girls gave LOTS of candy to the princesses and other not-so-scary costumes, and very little to the "yucky" costumes! I was proud of the fact that they GAVE candy--- not kept it :)
Bath/Bed was easy - and they all slept like logs! They're still talking about Trick-or-Treat, and it is difficult to explain that it won't happen again for another year... but I'm sure once they see the Thanksgiving treats and Christmas Candy Canes, they'll be fine :)

| Princess Morgan - the crown lasted about 2 minutes :) Glad we got a shot... |
 |
| Princess Madison - she actually tried to pose for this :) Crown stayed on FOREVER...and I have a feeling this will be a part of her daily wardrobe... |
 |
| James, the train conductor. He wears his costume as long as he can... and as often as possible! |
 |
| Neighbors, the Gibsons - one of the first houses we hit... at 4:30 in the afternoon! |
 |
| Trick-or-Treating at Maw-Maw's house. Good thing she gave us some candy from the "good" basket (containing real chocolate) and not the "other" basket (containing tootsie rolls, Dots, and lollipops!) |

| Grams helps James into his chair so he can see his candy from the night (and I am hoping he didn't notice the Butterfinger that has mysteriously disappeared since this photo!!!!!) |

 |
| Uncle Jon helps James get a little closer to the airplanes! |
