The Best of Halloween '08: Trunk-or-Treat

Despite the cold and rainy weather conditions on the day of our Trunk-or-Treat at church, there was still a great turn-out! We had a chili cook-off and pie contest, and the lines to get dinner wrapped all the way around one side of the gym! It was decided to go ahead and do the Trunk-or-Treat outside even though it was still quite cold and misty. The water spots on my lens in all the pictures show proof of this! Our scary, roaring T. Rex and sassy Black Cat still had a blast and collected quite the stash of candy!

Favorite moments from the night:

• Even though Tyler had been wearing his costume since the beginning of October, he acted as though this night was the first time he had seen it and eagerly put in on with excitment and anticipation!
• After remembering to say "Trick-or-Treat," Tyler found it necessary to ROAR at each and every unsuspecting candy-passer-outer! (And he came up with this all on his own!)
• Many cars had fun music playing and Allison just couldn't resist the urge to dance!
• Upon receiving a pack of M&M's - one of Allison's most favorite types of candy - she exclaimed, "WOWWW!" and then was given a 2nd pack just for being so cute!
• Allison was very enthralled and excited about the fact that every person she came in contact with freely offered her candy and other goodies. So much so, in fact, that she kept both hands full of candy and if we so much as layed a hand on her pumpkin she began to scream and wail!

The dynamic duo! And they both decided to look in the right direction and smile at the same time!

"Alright, filler up!"

This was one of the cars with music playing and Allison was bustin' a move! Also, notice what's in her hands - M&M's and a "pop!"
