Halloween 2011

Trick or Treating brought back a lot of fond California memories of our Halloween last year.  Bella wasn't even walking yet, she willing donned her Halloween costume, and David and I got to eat all the candy! This year was quite the opposite!

We have had Bella's costume for over a month...it has been sitting in her room and she would talk about it all the time:

However, putting the costume on was another story.  We had been to several parties where her fit throwing ended in just wearing a Halloween themed t-shirt.  But come time to Trick or Treat I was forcing that thing on her no matter how hard she screamed.  Daddy came to the rescue mid fit throwing with some chocolate bribery and the costume went on and stayed on without a hitch (minus the Tinkerbell wings)!

We went with a girlfriend (Christina) who has a 2 year old son, Noah.  The kids rode in the wagon for the first half of the evening because they were so busy shoving their faces full of every candy they were handed!  And finally by the end of the evening they were running around like crazy from all the sugar.  They were so precious...they would go up to each door, knock, and say "Trick or Treat", and then "Thank you"!
