From a 3-year old's perspective, being dressed up in a costume and whisked away to a place with hundreds of people also dressed up funny can be quite overwhelming. . .
Ila had been excited about being a ballerina for the past two weeks, but made a game-time switch to being a princess as we were getting ready to leave the house. No big deal, she could just wear her "leoturd" as she called it, underneath.
The UVA lawn was covered with lots of babies dressed up in cute animal costumes, several toddlers throwing tantrums on the ground, moms and dads who spent a little too much time on their costumes, and of course college students who probably chose their most appropriate costume of their past 4 nights of dressing up for Halloween. It was quite a scene but we were ready for it!

She actually trick or treated for the 1st time! Last year, we had to hold out the bucket.
And once she got that first taste of sugar, she was ok with the whole thing and became thoroughly candy-obsessed like any normal kid on Halloween.
Baby Alexandra looking cute in her superwoman outfit.
And baby Leah wore Ila's first Halloween costume! So cute.
Then after the lawn, we went to a friend's house for chili and Ila had a blast and ran around until way past her bedtime.
Madeleine even mastered her "gentle hug!" I'd say this Halloween was a success.
Last year
