Our "Sweet" Girls--Halloween Style





We had lots of fun with the costumes for the girls this year. Todd's sister was gracious to lend us a red M&M costume (appropriate for Emma this year since she had an M&M birthday party), and from there, we thought of the Hershey's kiss for Abri and Sweet Tooth for Kayla to make them a coordinating trio that even fits the candy-giving tradition of the holiday.

Kayla was the funniest baby-almost-toddler I think I've ever seen trick or treating. On the 30th, we went to our ward Trunk or Treat. At the first car she didn't know what to do, but two cars later she was a pro: reaching out her hand for a treat and placing her precious cargo delicately into her ghost bag. The trick was convincing her to move to the next car because she would just want to stand there and keep getting a treat to put in her bag over and over again. I'm not sure you can be proud of a child who becomes so quickly experienced at acquiring candy, but it was definitely amusing.
