MY Halloween

Addie was a cute little Pumpkin for Halloween this year. This year was much more exciting than last, as she could actually walk to the houses, rather than her half-hearted crawl! Addie loved wearing her costume, and had a number of opportunities to do so. She had a little party at daycare where all the kids dressed up and had treats, and we also attended a Halloween party with our friends from Mommy & Baby group (will post pictures from that later). I was able to get Addie to stand still and pose for a picture with her little pumpkin bucket, before we got dressed to go outside and start knockin on doors! Since Mike was unable to partake in Addie's first Trick-or-Treating experience (Gopher game) we had Grandma and Auntie Katie come over to participate in the fun. Grandma thought it would be funny to arrive in her Elvira wig wearing the most hideous teeth ever, as soon as Addie saw her she turned around and started running back to me crying, "scary." Nice mom.

Since this was Addie's first year, Nana had Addie practice her lines by knocking on the garage door and going through the whole rehearsal. She caught on very quickly and pretty much thought this was the best day of her life, I only have to say "Trick-or-Treat" and I get candy??"

Here is Addie pitching a minor fit about having to put her coat on over her costume, which she wasn't thrilled about, but the allure of more candy quickly turned her attitude around.

After we returned from Trick-or-Treating around the neighborhood (probably hit up about 5 houses) Addie stood guard over the candy bowl by putting her hand on it and repeating "My Halloween" over and over again about 100 times! She is good entertainment.
