Halloween 2011

Thursday, November 3, 2011

We had a happy Halloween! Our Halloween festivities lasted nearly a week. We started by crashing 4th Ward's Trunk or Treat, so Addie could hang out with Grandma and Pa. It was very cold, but Addie didn't let that detour her. She was fascinated with the entire process - friendly people handing out candy! Addie was an adorable Sock Monkey, and she loved her costume. Addie had two more Trick or Treating outings - the Downtown Trick or Treat and Halloween evening. By Halloween night, after about an hour and a half of being out, Addie had had enough and we experienced a two year old size melt down. All in all, Addie did well and seemed to really enjoy Halloween.

I continued with my tradition of "Boo-grams" this Halloween. It's fun to put together cute treats and ring and run (not so sure Bob, the runner, thinks it's fun). The surprise treat bags included: banana bread, apple jelly, candy with spooky bat rings, and chex mix. I hope the lucky recipients enjoyed their treats! 

Of course, what would Halloween be without a Jack-o-Lantern? Bob, the expert pumpkin carver, did a great job. Addie was interested in the process. For simplicity, we only did one pumpkin - this will soon change as Addie gets older. More holiday fun is just around the corner.
