Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween this year. Annabelle really loved putting her costume on. She was a ferocious purple dragon! Sunday before Halloween we went to a "Trunk or Treat" with Shannon and her little ones. Sophy was a little China girl complete with black hair and chopsticks in her bun. Lola was an adorable little puppy dog. At first Annabelle was unsure about all the people and strange costumes. We didn't play many games but just picked up the candy.
On Thursday night we went to Oklahoma Christian University to trick or treat in the girl's dorms. She started to understand that she could get candy to take home. She picked a piece of candy very carefully and put in her Elmo bucket. Dianna went with us and brought AB a funny little push toy with an opening for storing lots of candy. Thank you Dianna and Rosemary! I think AB will really get the hang of it next year.
On Halloween day, we went to Northpark mall. There were people at each store front passing out candy. Many of them were dressed up too. There was a little boy, younger than AB, that decided to stop and give her a hug and a kiss! It was so cute. I didn't have my camera, bummer. Would't it be a hoot if they know each other in the future. You never know what will happen. That night we headed to the Craig's house for some haunting fun.
After such a long week of celebrating, we took Saturday really easy. Some good naps and a lazy day. Despite all our celebrating, Annabelle wanted more! Sunday night, we were watching a certain football game and AB wanted to put her costume on. So I put it on her and she got her new push bucket and headed for the door. She wanted to do more trick or treating! It was cute but she got mad when I said that the trick or treating was over. Can't wait for next year! I'm thinking about making her a robot.
