Just like 2020 has been different, Halloween followed suite and we were not sure what to expect. This year Halloween fell on Saturday which we have waited for for 6 long years. We were not even sure if neighbors would have their lights on for trick-or-treating fun. We had so many plans for Halloween when it fell on Saturday but not all of them came to be but that is okay; it is 2020. This year was the first year since we moved to Vestavia, we have done Halloween with Mimi or the Rhoads but as the girls get older things change and we all roll with it. Sweet Mimi did send the girlies their Halloween treat over and of course it was a good one, cold hard cash.
Halloween morning we were still uncertain of what all was happening but Mommy was up early so she thought it was time for the fun to begin. Mommy made a quick run to Shipley Donuts to grab treats so the girls could be “boo’d” that morning when they woke up. We bought a few extra donuts too so the rest of the family could join in the fun and “boo” a few neighbors as well. We put vampire teeth in the donuts, ran the to the front door and texted, “You have been boo’d! Check your front porch to see if it is a treat or a trick.” Love to see the girls excited to leave sweet treats for friends!
The morning was a family chill out time! The four of us watched a movie or two snuggled up; a perfect morning treat. Mommy was getting stir crazy by midday though and wanted some more halloween fun so ran to Walmart and got ingredients for the girls to bake Halloween cookies and cook some soups for the evening. Ivy mixed up the dough herself then Leia joined in to roll the dough out and cut cookies to decorate while mommy cooked soup. So enjoy having us the girls in the kitchen too while we prep meals to share. We are blessed and love getting to share these moments with them!
We had texted a few neighbors that morning about possibly getting together to trick-or-treat so we had a small crowd but lots of fun. We hit houses on our street for trick-or-treat then our girls and Sipes kids said they were done. We all headed back here to have soup and turn on the Bama game while the kids played. The Talley’s came back after they finished up their trick-or-treating and the Falkner’s joined us for the game after they finished their evening activities too. It was a treat to have a house full, hearing kids laugh/play, and sweet fellowship. We say Halloween 2020 was a success, we all had fun!

Trick or treating with neighborhood friends is always fun!
Love that our girls like handing out candy as much if not more than going trick-or-treating
