Layers underneath provided the warmth needed on a chilly 2015 night of knocking on doors and being surprised by the treats presented. The cousins had started a tradition of trick-or-treating together and alternating neighborhoods. Oliver and Sophia squealed with delight when they received one of their mutual favorites: “Hurray, we got Nerds! We got Nerds!”
The fun of dressing up in costumes was only surpassed by the spreading out of loot, candy and otherwise, at the end of the night. After appreciating the vastness of their individual hauls, they negotiated for win-win candy exchange deals.
“I’ll trade you a Skittles for this sticker.”
“I’ll take anything chocolate you don’t want.”
“Coins, anybody?”
What was one child’s easy discard might have been another’s non-negotiable treasure.
By 2017 Natalie and Lincoln had joined in the fun. Who knew that Lincoln would fit into the same pumpkin costume that his dad Ben wore when he was about his age?
Morgan and Alina were ready to step out in 2021 style as Shark and Bumblebee.
Wonder what treats will be this year’s favorites and what treasures (of conversation and connection) will be uncovered along the way?
