Trick or Treat

Trick or Treating was so much fun this year! Meredith was just old enough to get really excited so it made the whole day a blast! When she got up for her nap, I went in and asked if she was ready to get dressed and she was jumping up and down shouting "Yes, yes!"

This year, Meredith decided to be Tinker Bell. She actually picked it out from a Party City ad in the summer. When she said that is what she wanted to be, I thought there was no way she would stick to that all the way until October, but I was definitely wrong! By her birthday, she had hinted to Aunt Sandy that she would love the costume and Aunt Sandy was happy to grant her that wish! From there, we had to decide what to do about Jillian. We went to the Disney store with Aunt Sandy one day to see what they would have. Meredith was all for Jillian being a Fairy too. Luckily, Aunt Sandy is very talented and was able to cut down the toddler sized Rosetta (another one of the fairies from the Tinker Bell movies) to fit little Jillian since they don't make them in baby sizes. She took the extra fabric and made her some wings and a really pretty flower for her hair - it was perfect!

Beautiful fairy girls!

We got to Trick or Treat at Bubbie and Granddad's house and then headed to see Gigi and Papa and hit their neighborhood with Landon and Meredith's friend, Katie.

The trick or treating crew. Somehow we couldn't get a good picture of all 4 of them.

Jillian loved watching everyone and trick or treated a few houses too.
Another attempt at a cousin shot. This time we tried to distract them with a toy. I guess it sort-of worked!
