Last year, at just a bit over age 2, our little trick-or-treaters didn't know much about Halloween. But this year, they're TOTALLY into it. Unfortunately, Daddy will be out of country on the 31st so we celebrated a few days early so he could take part (the girls don't know any different).
Here are our Gwen and Maddy as characters of one of their favorite movies: Happy Feet. They've been really excited to wear these costumes and are so smitten with them that they don't really care at all about such trivial matters surrounding what may or may not be put into their "treat" bags.
In the video, below, we're practicing the Halloween Doorbell ritual with them. Mommy is answering the door, running the video, and handing out pretend treats. But, even with the fake candy, this video couldn't possibly be sweeter or more delicious!
Cute!!! That made *me* happy. :-)

That is so sweet! I love the "happy feet". I'm sure they will be totally excited tomorrow when there are real treats in their bags.
We took Maddy out this past weekend. I have some adorable photos and video but alas, I've had the flu for two days so I'm just now checking blogs. Hopefully, I'll have some stuff posted today.
Safe travels for your husband!

That is so adorable. :-) They were so into it! Are you still trying to keep them away from the candy this year, or are they going to be allowed to indulge just a little? ;-)
