Halloween was so much fun! It's one of my favorite holidays because as the bookish, preppy, straight-laced type of child, it was the one time a let myself be really creative. The only time of year you get to dress up as something else-SO much fun and a highlight of my childhood. So, Ella gets the whole shabang-we went to Larriland in the morning for a corn maze, a hayride, pumpkin picking and then trick-or-treating that night. The only Halloween joy she didn't get to experience was eating candy. She had so much fun learning to say "trick-or-treat" and holding out her basket, then saying "thank you" and has NO IDEA that candy is food. The basket has been sitting here for days and she still doesn't know you can eat the stuff in it. She LOVES chocolate so once we clue her in she'll be obsessed so I'm holding off and enjoying this phase that surely won't last long. Here are some pics!!
Playing in the Pumpkins
An attempt at a group pic of all the kids (think we'll have to wait a few years for that to turn out well)
Holly and Ladybug Hope!
Ella was a Giraffe!!
We already had orange pumpkins at home so Ella picked green ones this time
Hard to explain but this cocked-head look is very "Ella"
Nana and Ella singing songs on the hayride

We went trick-or-treating with a bunch of friends in Lexi's neighborhood. It was the perfect toddler-friendly street: a cul-de-sac and lots of friendly neighbors out on their porches. Lots of fun!!
