Trick-or-treat

***I know, Halloween feels like forever ago but I am just getting the pictures on here. We are having technical difficulties with our camera and computer, it seems they don't like each other any more!***

Madison has been wanting those sparkly red shoes from target for many years. Me, being the mean mom that I am, have never gotten them for her. Until this year she suggested she be Dorothy for Halloween. I thought that was a fantastic idea, considering the other options she suggested (Dora- um... no, a mermaid- brr, and a rock star- that one could have worked)

So Nana made her dress, we got the ruby red slippers at target, and we borrowed a copy of the Wizard of Oz so she could actually know who she was going to be. (Seriously, it was all about the shoes) We found Beckham the cutest little lion costume on clearance at the mall and we were set! Madison's bff from school decided she was going to be Dorothy as well so we invited her family over for a fun evening of home made pumpkin pizza, trick-or-treating, and hot cocoa. The kids didn't last too long outside but, they had just as much fun inside answering the door. We actually got rid of the 3 bags of candy I bought! I was even able to slip in a few handfuls of their own stash to hand out- shh, don't tell!

We also went to our church Halloween party where Beckham tried out his new Trick-or-treating skills for the first time. It didn't take long for him to catch on!
