A Bug, A Princess, and A Biker Chick

On By AngeliaIn Beautiful Life, Life..Camera...Action!

Last Halloween, Averey is little bundle of joy not more than 7 lbs. Far too little to dress up and take around the neighborhood. Plus, the weather turned pretty chilly on Halloween and she mostly stayed in. But this Halloween, in 2014, Averey is walking (almost talking). She may not get it completely, but she knows what is going on.

Candy? Mmmmm.

Hey, this is all okay by me.
Averey gets her first treats.
Tried to get her to put her candy in the bucket and that was not happening.
End of the night and she still had the same two pieces of candy clutched in her fingers.

Her first treats she got when we arrived at the girl’s Mom’s house. Every year, they trick or treat in her neighborhood, no matter whose weekend it is. We have many reasons for doing this. But the main one is that her neighborhood gets into Halloween. There are LOTS of dressed up kids and parents. Many houses decked out in spooky wonder. It is the perfect Halloween neighborhood. The last few years, I had to work until late and didn’t get to take part in the festivities. This year I planned ahead. And? Sydney and Baby Averey got to come too!

I wasn’t expecting that.

To be part of her trick or treating this year brought joy to this Grammy’s heart.

And now I present the stars of our Halloween.

The oldest. She picked a Biker Chick costume.

Pretty in pink.
My biker chick!
She is pretty tough.

I hope she doesn’t want a motorcycle soon.

The youngest decided on an Asian Princess. And ohmygoodness, be still my heart. She made a gorgeous princess (of course!).

A beautiful princess.
Pretty in pink as well.
Be still my heart.

And then, the youngest of the bunch, my little Lady Bug granddaughter.

Baby Averey and Sydney.

I ain’t afraid of no ghost!

They all look so cute trooping through the neighborhood house to house. Averey randomly laughed at everything. Not sure if it was the costumes or the kids or just her having fun. Whatever it was that made her hysterical…well, it made us hysterical too.

Mr. Bones.

Our favorite house was the hot dog house. One person handed out candy. The other person handed out hot dogs. No kidding! Hot of the grill dawgs. How awesome is that?

This Halloween meant a lot to me. Sharing our night with family and enjoying the little ones. Becoming a Grammy made me softer and more nostalgic. Am I complaining? Heck no. I love this time of treasure.

Today marks November 1st. How amazing! It shakes me up a little. November already? Where has the year gone?

To you all, I wish you a happy November 1st!

Hope your Halloween was extra good.

    1. Seriously! I couldn’t believe it. It is their yearly tradition to give out candy and hot dogs. My step-daughter even said as we came up to the house. It’s the hot dog guy! It’s the hot dog guy! Cracked us up. Hot dog? Yes, please!
