We had a great Halloween! Our friends hosted a party at their house with a great view of our neighborhood's Halloween parade. A lot of Emily's little friends were there as well as a lot of newborns that our son will get to play with when he arrives in December. It was fun to get together with everyone and see the kids in their costumes. Ben and I took Emily trick or treating later that evening on our street with Mimi, Grandy and Will. Ben got Emily a little Elmo candy bucket and she had a great time walking down the sreet with Elmo and her entourage. When she walked up to the houses she handed them a piece of candy from her own bucket instead of taking one. Ha! She'd never had candy before so I guess she didn't know what she was doing. She eventually got the hang of it. By the end of the night she also figured out how to say trick or treat but it came out more like "treat or treat". Smart girl! I tried giving her a piece of a crunch bar but she was uninterested. She loved answering the door later that night when the kids came to our house. She would hand them a piece of candy and say "thank you" and "bye bye". Ben videotaped most of the evening so hopefully we can edit all the footage and get some more video posted on the blog soon. Here are some pics from the evening courtesy of our friend Jean who did a great job capturing lots of shots on her camera. [nggallery id=44]
