Not Many Treats
Maybe those cups were to hold whatever tiny treats they might have gotten, but most don't have cups. Maybe for party punch? Not many treats in sight.

Well, at least lil' Joan sports enough makeup to match the role.

is absolutely precious. The expression on her face and those little hands make me hope she got a nice treat for Halloween.
