But the smiles inside were so delightful!

Our twin BEE-utiful granddaughters Kelsey and Kassie with one of their besties Addison at our church's annual Trunk-or-Treat community event.

 

We had a great crowd streaming through all evening...

 

I love seeing the little ones in their costumes.  Madeline was a perfect little flamingo!

 

And, of course, some of my own crew...Mrs. Incredible Emily and her two foster children...

 

Kristoffer and Dana and their busy hive, including Darth Vader (alias Kaden) and Army Ranger Karter.

 

Kim and I were the "American Gothic" painting.  Our sincerest apologies to the real artist of the original masterpiece, Grant Wood...

The hardest part was not smiling!

 

Pastor CJ and Leann...

 

Youth Pastor Bryan, Sam, and Ellis from "101 Dalmatians"....

...with 3 more of their youth pups.  Guess the other 97 were missing...

 

Brian and Jenni's Pumpkin Patch...

 

"Stitch" from "Lilo and Stitch" times two...Anna and Parker....

 

I know zilcho about Harry Potter, but I think Caleb may be one of those characters....

 

Tina and Lin were down on the farm.  LOVE the chicken feeder trough with candy!

 

A few of my favorite gals from our church family...Mara, Anna, Lydia, and Macy...

 

Oh cuteness overload!  Willow and Marli as "Wizard of Oz" characters Dorothy and Scarecrow....

 

...and baby sister Caroline sure made one adorable Tinman.

 

Jan was an "Arthur" character (isn't she cute?)...

 

...and she invited some Ball State college kids to join us!

 

Daniel and Jesseca as Peter Pan and Tinkerbell....

 

...and 3 of Jesseca's college friends drove from Indy with her to pose as Social Media.

I have to admit I did not know that middle icon...I'm too old-school for Snapchat.  I can barely handle Facebook and Instagram.

 

Beautiful princesses from fairy tale land...

 

Little Bo-Peep Eve and her little lamb Audrey...

 

These 4 cutie-pies...Tinkerbell Grace and Fairy Faye with Willow and Marli....

 

I get to watch sweet Faye in the nursery each week.  We're buddies!

 

Witch Macie...

 

Zombie Girl Vivian...

 

Olivia riding her dinosaur...

 

Hunter as the Headless Hunter...very clever....

 

Grayson was Mickey Mouse with Mommy Kelsey as the Cat in the Hat...

 

...and these 4 friends were being weird and creepy like friends are supposed to on Halloween.

 

Sophie and Zach....

 

Little Lavender was being camera shy...

 

Harper made a lovely mermaid...

 

...and her cousin Brynlee was sparkly and cute too!  And had her Mommy Jenny following her around assisting with her costume...

 

Matt was another one of those Harry Potter characters....

 

And I'm not sure exactly what Stella and Grady were, but they were having lots of fun!

 

Mommy/Daughter Ginny and Lydia were joining in the costume shenanigans...

 

...while Daddy Warren was faithfully upholding his Halloween-Slacker reputation.

 

What a great evening for our church and community!

 

You can't go wrong with...

...costumes and candy.
