Halloween 2022 was a great one! Every year, I'm amazed at how much the kids are growing and gaining more independence. The weather was perfect, the fellowship was delightful, the kids were cute, and the candy was sweet. We couldn't ask for anything more.
We took some pictures in our yard before we drove over to the Shondelmyers for the evening.
This year we had KC wolf, a light up unicorn, Hermoine Granger, and Harry Potter.
Hermoine was casting a spell to turn Katherine into a unicorn.
Our unicorn needed a little cat nap on the drive over.
We had to fuel these kids up with pizza for a night of trick or treating.
These girls have been trick or treating together since they were three years old. Their first experience together, they quit halfway through the neighborhood, and Corey had to bring his truck to pick them up. They've come a long way in the last five years.
After dinner the kids were off.
And the dads were firmly planted in their chairs for the evening, ha! Brooke and I know our years walking around with the kids are also numbered. Somehow, we're not too sad about it.
Katherine didn't waste any time digging into her candy.
Brooke and I walked around with Samuel, Keaton, Elisabeth, Kaydence, and Katherine. All we talked about is how drastically their stamina has improved over the years. They walked the entire neighborhood and never complained about being tired (until the very end)
Okay, maybe they were a little tired at the end of the night. They walked miles for their candy though.
We let these two off on their own for the second year. Brooke and I are both grateful for both of their responsible first-born tendencies. We knew they'd be safe and responsible. And they were- and got a ton more candy than their siblings. They must have jogged from house to house to get so much candy.
We eventually walked back home to sort the loot and enjoy the spoils.
