Kylah was a Southern Bell.
Makena was Link and Hailee was Sheik - Zelda game characters. (They were smart and brought thermoses of hot chocolate.)
And Miss Ivie was Cinderella. Here, she is checking to see when the owner was coming with candy.
And if you've never spent time with Ivie; she's a character. She has to be first while walking down the street or crossing it. She has to be the first one up to the door. We attempted to 'take turns' knocking on the door, but it was difficult for Ivie. She'd also announce "Hello...Cinderella is here!" or "Hello ladies, Cinderella has arrived!".
There is one neighbor that has a haunted garage every year. Ivie walked in with the group (well...minus us adults and teenagers cuz we know better) and walked right back out. She went through last year, but this year must have been too much for her. Hailee suggested she go in with her and that made Ivie feel safe. But she didn't look too happy when she finally made it back out. Until she got her candy that is...
We always go back to check candy, count the loot, and trade before heading back home.
By 9pm, my teenagers were ready for bed and almost falling asleep in the car. Maybe if Makena had brought some candy home, we would have been happier. Or I would have anyways.
