Trunk or Treat

As is tradition, the Jolly family went to the school carnival as themed characters. The past two years we told Hannah what would be a cute costume, leaning her towards the direction we wanted her to go. This year however, she was adamant that she was going to be a princess! Ed and I didn't know what to be to compliment a princess outfit. Two years ago we were Scooby and the gang, last year we were all football players and Elayna was the ball. So, finally it hit us! This year we were characters from Super Mario! The hardest part was getting a costume for Elayna. Turning her into Toadette was much harder than it looked. In the end, she was very cute! Mom made Hannah's princess dress. We tried to make Hannah look as close to Princess Peach as possible. She was very happy with the way it turned out (eventhough she still claims she is Sleeping Beauty).
Once the actual trunk or treat started, Hannah and Lilly (the cat) held hands the entire time! It was so adorable. Hannah walked her through the line to each car helping her pick candy out. By the time we made it through the line Elayna was almost asleep. My kids go to bed at 7 and two nights in a row it has been pushing 8. It is amazing how they both turn into pumkins after 7! Here's to another year!
