Trick or Treating in California

Despite not being able to be at home for Halloween, we managed to have a lot of fun trick or treating in California! We went to my aunt and uncle's neighborhood and had a lot of fun walking around where it was warm and sunny - instead of cold and rainy in Virginia!

A power ranger, butterfly, witch and Aidan had a great time collecting candy!

Happy Halloween 2018

We had a gerat Halloween. The weather was absolutely perfect and even though it was in the middle of the week, the kids had a great time tick-or-treating. This year we had an astronaut, a narwhal and Thing 1 - Aidan declined to dress up. Finley and Emmy went trick-or-treating together this year- they are getting so old! 

Halloween 2017

 The weather here in Virginia was PERFECT this year on Halloween!! One of these years we aren't going to get so lucky!  The only downside was that it was a school night but we still had fun and got a good bit of candy.  Aidan wasn't feeling well and stayed home with Brendan to hand out candy and Declan only made it about 20 minutes before he was finished with the whole thing.  The girls and I walked around with the neighborhood crew and had a great time!!

Halloween 2016

 Halloween was a beautiful night this year!  Too bad it was a Monday night - it would have been more fun if we didn't have school the next day!  Aidan was zombie Trump, Emmy was a bucket of popcorn, Aoife was a phone and Declan was a gold Power Ranger.  Everyone was very happy with their costumes although Declan was a little freaked out by Aidan's makeup!!
Both Emmy and Aidan decided to Trick or Treat with friends this year so we only had Declan and Aoife to walk around with.  We joined up with the Parishes and had a fun time!

Halloween 2015

 Trick or Treating was a success!!!  I was pretty convinced that Declan wouldn't put the costume on but he did and he LOVED it!  Go figure!!!

Trick or Treating

 The BEST day of the year!!  We did not get a picture with everyone in costume this year - sad!!!  The kids had fun and they got lots of loot.  Mr. Hannon visited from Afghanistan and went trick or treating with us!!!!  YAY!!

Happy Halloween 2013

 Trick or Treating was great this year!  Last year I was stuck at home with Declan since it was freezing and he was 5 weeks old but this year the temperatures were really nice!  The kids didn't even have to wear coats over their costumes!!!  Gramma came out with us and it was nice to have an extra set of hands.  They were really good about staying together this year - not like 2 years ago when Aoife kept getting lost!!! 
They got a pretty good haul of candy but wanted to also hand out candy so they went through their bags and sorted out regiftable candy.  They had so much fun sitting on the porch giving out candy.  I think they had more fun doing that than walking around getting it!

Here is the picture I took the day before Halloween - just to make sure that we actually got a picture!

Trick or Treating ended up being postponed by a day because of a crazy rain storm! So we went door to door on the 1st of November - I don't think the kids cared AT ALL!
