Halloween 2011

Halloween was different this year in that daddy was working nights and mama had to hold down the fort all by herself.  I didn't want to stay at home alone with the girls so we ventured out to Nonna's for the night and went trick-or-treating in her neighborhood.  As this was the first time both girls would be trick-or-treating I figured their quiet neighborhood would be a great place to start.  I am so glad we started there because the first couple of houses we went to Emily freaked out.  She started out fine walking up to the door, but once someone opened the door she clamored up Nonna's leg and started to cry.  Once calm, she got to get some candy and was very quick to say thank you and bye-bye!  Her previous bumble bee outfit wasn't working so she wore her fairy costume instead.  Emily loves fairies so it was perfect.  Avery was happy in her cow costume and was along for the ride being carried in my arms most of the way.  We got to see some of Nonna's friends and then took a little trip to Mimi and Papa Joe's house.  They were very happy to see the girls and the girls got some yummy treats.  All in all it was a great Halloween but we are hoping next year that daddy will get to join us.
