The day began with a wonderful Halloween brunch at a fellow ET adoptive family's home.
An adorable assortment of high energy, costumed kiddos hyped for the impending candy-palooza!
Little Miss doting on her baby buddy . . .she loves this little guy!
Little Miss ditched the costume when she got too hot - would have been cute with the adorable Cat in the Hat.
Missy's first carved jack-o-lantern or "pumpkin jack" as she called it, complete with ears (by her suggestion). Two minutes into the "de-gutting" of the pumpkin Little Miss took off saying, "I changed my mind", so Mama did most of the process.
My little bunny getting even more excited as the big moment drew near.
After a BRIEF nap, we were off to our friends' house for some pre-trick-or-treating fun and photos. These little cuties looked like they stepped straight off Old MacDonald's farm!
And here we have the breakdown moment . . . it was bound to come. The culmination of nonstop excitement, fun, lack of sleep, sugar, and anticipation brought Little Miss to tears just as we were ready to hit the streets. 
Fortunately, a lollipop from the first house we visited was a quick fix! (Oh yes, she was definitely allowed to eat that while we were out - desperate times call for desperate measures)
Initially, her big cousins were 2 houses ahead of Little Miss, but once she got the hang of it she was leading the pack, at the door while they were still on the sidewalk! She held her own with the big kids. She was quite polite and even turned on the charm at times with a bonus "Happy Halloween" in addition to her "trick-or-treat" and "Thank you"!As the night ended, the pace slowed and Little Miss was carried more than she walked or rode in the wagon. But still, her comment as we arrived home was, "I want to stay at trick-or-treating" . . . already a die-hard at 2 and 1/2!
