Haloween fun

We walked to the farm stand near our house to see the animals, ride the tractor and pick out pumpkins when Grandpa and Grandma Ansley visited. It was mighty cold and muddy, but we all found a pumpkin that suited us.

Last year for trick-or-treating, we made it to about 3 other houses on our cul du sac. This year, Addison got her first real taste of the Halloween experience.

We trick-or-treated with friends in Tosa. At the first house, she cried (I think she got scared that we might be dropping her off). In the middle, she seemed distracted by all the commotion, but was slowly catching on to the concept. By the end, she was telling us, 'next house', 'trick-or-treat', 'candy my bucket'. She was interested in inspecting the candy she was given, but ultimately agreed to wait until we were home to try opening and eating it. She walked almost the entire time, for several blocks. Then we had a little dance party and even her friend Drew donned a dress for the occasion. All of this on a day where she refused to nap - what a trooper.

We also went to a costume themed first b-day party for her friend Maddy. Here she is with her friends, all playing with cell phones for entertainment.
