Happy Halloween

Halloween was indeed a happy one for sweet little Lydia. We're afraid it also created a sweet tooth in her! Here are some pictures as we have promised and I'll try to caption along with them so you can enjoy the holiday replay as much as we did.

When we first arrived at our church Halloween party, Lydia refused to put on her costume. After eating dinner and starring at all the other kids in their costumes she finally consented to putting on her Giraffe in order to go outside and trunk-or-treat.
All we had to say was treat and she was ready to go!

While Cassie gave out treats at our car, Dan took Lydia around and taught her the ropes of trick-or-treating. He told her to say trick-or-treat, and in her cute little voice she'd say "Tri-treat" and then hold out her bag only to get super excited about the candy they'd drop in and then she'd pull it right back out of the bag and put it into her mouth (wrapper and all)! She quickly learned to leave the candy in the bag so that she could get more. By about the fifth car she had it all figured out and as they approached she already had her bag held out and said, "Treat-treat!" Luckily she was polite and also said, "Thank you" at each car!

Mama's darling little giraffe (forget the picture, let's open this sucker)!

Back inside for a picture . . .
. . . with out candy in your mouth, please . . .. . . whatever!

Trick-or-treating is great! Let's do it again!

A fun visit from Lydia's cute little cousins!
Carson, Garrett, and Jacie.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
