Halloween, it’s only 2 weeks late. Cut me some slack!
Posted by: Michelle / Category: Holiday, JessHalloween seems like so long ago, so I feel like this post is VERY overdue.
What a fun day for Addie. We woke up early and practiced trick or treating. Then, Addie geared up in her Elmo Costume and off to Grandma Stephs for the morning while Jess and I went to a Wedding. She always has such a fun time at Grama “Teff”’s
Addie was able to join us for the reception, and of course, we didn’t take any pictures but she was so stinkin cute! She danced for Nolan (her official God Viking), and rand around twirling and showing people her dress.
After the reception a much needed nap, and off to Grams and Grumps’ house. It was about this time I realized I hadn’t taken any pictures. BAD MOM. Bad. So we took Addie for a quick jaunt through the neighborhood to show her off. The neighbors we delighted andwe collected some candy (for me, Addie is still on a no-sugar diet). Don’t worry, thanks to Auntie Lisa Addie got lots of healthy goodies to gnosh on while I ate her candy.
So, here are some pics of Addies first real Trick-or-Treating. I have much more to post about my night (Grams and Grumps kept Addie so I could go to a halloween party, and be a DD for some friends at the Coffee Connection). Plus, yes I know I need to post about Mexico, I will get them all up by the end of the weekend.
The joys of not understanding “Candy” She thought sticks in her pumpkin was great! Every stick we found along the way was picked up and put in her basket… Anyone want to hire her for Yard Cleanup??
Walking up the steps to her first house, fortunately no sticks. Apparently it is hard to balance with a pumpkin when you are Elmo, so Grams had to help her up the stairs.
The best thing about Trick or Treating with Addie this year, when she got a piece of candy, she gave back a stick or another piece of candy! She loves to share, although eventually she tried to give back hte candy and take back her stick. Sticks are very important to a 1 year old.
