Halloween

There was no shortage of candy before, on, and after Halloween!  On Saturday before Halloween, we all went to a Trunk or Treat around the corner at Beckwith CRC.  This went pretty quick, in part to Elie crying about wanting to eat each piece of candy as it was handed to her.  It was a nice practice run to get Elie set for Halloween night.

Elie didn't understand she could not eat every piece of candy as it was given to her!

Pumpkin Carving
Cecelia got right into in and Eloise had no interest.

Halloween Night
The weather was not great for trick or treating.  Luckily it stopped raining but it was cold and very windy.  We started by going around the neighborhood loop. Eloise lost interest half way around and just wanted to pull the wagon.  Eloise and mom went home while Cecelia and daddy finished trick or treating in the neighborhood cul-de-sac.

Ready to go Trick or Treating!

Doesn't really know what Trick or Treating is all about, but she LOVES HER CAT OUTFIT!!!

Of course it was killing them NOT to eat the bowl of candy on our porch!

Cecelia was very good at knocking at doors.  She never forgot to thank those giving her candy!
