For the first time, Makgill actually knew what was going on and was sooooo excited!  As I mentioned before, he dressed up as a cow.  He decided sometime in July that this is what he wanted to be, and it was terribly difficult to find him a costume.  After much searching, we finally found the cow costume, and ordered it immediately.  I was so scared that he would change his mind about the costume at the last minute, but thankfully he didn&#8217;t!  And he was the CUTEST cow I have ever seen!<\/p>\n<p>Clara Beth dressed up as a chick, mainly because I already had the costume sitting in the top of her closet.  And it was a tu-tu, and she LOVES tu-tus.  So it was perfect for her!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-16-13-11.JPG\" title=\"2007-10-31-16-13-11.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-16-13-11.JPG\" alt=\"2007-10-31-16-13-11.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So we had two farm animals, and the logical thing was for Collin to dress up as a farmer.  So he did!  And, might I add, he was mighty good looking&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-18-31-29.JPG\" title=\"2007-10-31-18-31-29.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-18-31-29.JPG\" alt=\"2007-10-31-18-31-29.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After picking Mak up from school, we headed to Tomlinson&#8217;s to trick-or-treat with Boom-Boom and Uncle Andrew.  Rebecca and Tallon came too, and Li-Li and Aunt Erin were also there.  It was great!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-11-38-23.JPG\" title=\"2007-10-31-11-38-23.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-11-38-23.JPG\" alt=\"2007-10-31-11-38-23.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Baby CB wanted her Boom-Boom to wear her feathers.

Reeves joined us, so we had the whole group there (but sadly, we took no pictures!).  I&#8217;ve just gotta say again how much I LOVE having us all living in the same town!<\/p>\n<p>After naps, we met back up with Rebecca and Tal and headed over to Na-Na&#8217;s (my grandmother). <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-16-17-34.JPG\" title=\"2007-10-31-16-17-34.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-16-17-34.JPG\" alt=\"2007-10-31-16-17-34.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-16-21-11.JPG\" title=\"2007-10-31-16-21-11.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-16-21-11.JPG\" alt=\"2007-10-31-16-21-11.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-16-21-41.JPG\" title=\"2007-10-31-16-21-41.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-16-21-41.JPG\" alt=\"2007-10-31-16-21-41.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They each received sugar cookies and some candy.  The younger two were beginning to catch on to this whole Halloween thing, and they were definitely happy!<\/p>\n<p>Next, it was on to Li-Li&#8217;s.  She (of course) COMPLETELY spoiled these three.  They each had a super-huge cupcake and sugar cookie from Freemans (Mmmmmm&#8230;).  And free-reign at the candy bowl.  They just kept going back for more and more handfuls!  I think this may have ruined poor Tal for the night.  He thought he could do this at any house he trick-or-treated at!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-16-40-17.JPG\" title=\"2007-10-31-16-40-17.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-16-40-17.JPG\" alt=\"2007-10-31-16-40-17.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-16-39-20.JPG\" title=\"2007-10-31-16-39-20.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/2007-10-31-16-39-20.JPG\" alt=\"2007-10-31-16-39-20.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And finally&#8230;our final stop of the night.
