Halloween 2017

Happy Halloween!!

I decided the girls would be mermaids back in July when I found Ellie’s mermaid skirt on sale.  I know, I’m crazy, but I’ve been eyeing the skirt for such a long time and couldn’t resist! :) Ellie tends to want whatever Lo has these days (I'm sure the opposite will be true before we know it), so I knew it was in my best interest to make them dress up as the same thing and I think it turned out pretty cute!

 

This was Ellie’s very first time really going out trick-or-treating and it was the BEST.  It was so, so cute to see her go up to each house and give it her best shot at “trick-or-treat”, and she was always sure to say “thank you”, too.  I wasn’t sure if she’d be shy, but she went right up to all the houses, even the spooky ones!  We took her up to Main Street in our town and Ells was so excited to fill up her pumpkin bag with candy.  My mom gave the girls their Halloween gifts in my and my sister’s old trick-or-treat bags so that they could use them too. :)  Lo slept most of the time we were out, but I know she will have fun next year!

Also, a couple more Halloween-y photo stragglers from our pumpkin carving and the girls dressed up as kitties, of course.

Halloween has never been my most favorite holiday, but seeing how happy Ellie was out there last night makes it pretty high on my list... and makes me even more excited for CHRISTMAS this year!! Hope your night was just as magical! :)
