For Halloween our kiddos turned into a monkey and a little chicky. It was a fun year to have a two year old getting into the dressing up and trick or treating. We had a lot of fun going around our neighborhood. Maia loved that she got to pick out candy from a bowl and put it in her bag. This sort of thing has been a common thing for her. That is, carrying around bags with books, puzzle pieces, blocks, mainly anything small enough to put in a bag and tote it around the house. So trick or treating was a very exciting thing. I don't know how much she realized it was candy she was getting, but just the fact of getting something was fun for her. We as parents enjoyed getting to meet some of our neighbors and eating the candy ;). One of our neighbors had some benches by a fire in their back yard for trick or treaters to come and relax. That was our favorite, just a chance to meet neighbors, sip apple cider and enjoy a warm fire.

SOOOOOO cute! The kids and the kids costumes.
I agree, meeting and hanging out with the neighbors is my favorite part of Halloween, too. I remember neighbors that would wait for us on Highland with hot apple cider ready (we were the only kids that came). We would hang out for a while sipping our cider, and then after we left they would turn out the porch light and go to bed. Some of my favorite Halloween memories.
