Well - this was our first Halloween in Charlotte. We were so excited b/c Kennedy can kind of "get it!"...but as with anything new for her - she freaked! :) She didn't want to wear her costume...so we had to bribe her with candy. I know its terrible - but I spent $10 on that costume - and she WAS going to wear it! ha! 
Jaxen, on the other hand, was a great sport! He let us dress him and take a ton of pictures. He looked soooo cute! You could barely see his little face....but he just took it like a man. ;)
Our neighborhood had a little parade for the kids - so we walked down the the pool area and lined up. It was neat to see everyone's costumes. :) You should have seen some of the houses down there. They went ALL out. HUGE blowups everywhere - music, free pizza...good grief! We were excited to get home and get our new fire pit out and pass out candy to all the kids! 
We got home - stripped the costumes off - set up the firepit - ate some home-made chicken veggie soup - and waited....and waited....and waited. :( PRetty soon - the kids got tuckered out - from handing out candy to 0....zero...yes 0 kids! Apparently they don't come down to our culdesac....so sad. We had been told to plan for 85-100 kids...needless to say - we have a lot of candy left...and we had chocolate this year! :) I HAVE to get it out of the house...today. :)

Sad, get the candy out fast! Cute costumes though. It's fun to dress everyone up, oh I miss that.
