Emma's second Halloween was loads of fun. We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house in RB, enjoyed being with Auntie Andra and Uncle Kevin too. We had a wonderful dinner, then it was off to see all the neighbors.
Donald grew up in this neighborhood so we know lots of the people which makes it fun taking Emma around. Grandma went to a few of the special houses with us. Then we were off to see all the spooky decorations. We only went looking as Emma not even 2 yet is way too young for all that candy. She loved it and didn't feel like she was missing out at all. She loved going up to people's houses and checking out all the pumpkins, decorations and other kids. When offered candy we politely declined and people gave us other things instead. From gummy bears, to free kids meals at restaurants, to play-doh. The streets were packed with loads of tricker-treaters, and some amazing costumes. Most parents were in costume which made me feel like we should have done more. We saw a really cool space bug on stilts, bands playing on front lawns, and loads of parents sitting out front watching the parade of happy faces going by.
So glad that Donald and Mike wore their matching BRIGHT orange Lacoste shirts. No one was going to miss seeing us coming. Emma got loads of compliments on her costume too. Everyone guessed right away that she was little Bo Peep and all wanted to admire her.
Emma got to stay up way past her 7:00 bedtime till almost 9:00. She walked at least 1/2 a mile and was so tired that she slept in to almost 8:00 the next morning, and then was in bed for nap 15 minutes early as she was still so exhausted.
