Happy Halloween!

My mom sent Emily a monkey costume for Halloween. She was the cutest monkey ever! I took Emily to the Trunk-or-Treat at the church on Tuesday night. Chad was working and couldn't come with us. Emily was ready for bed before we even left for the Trunk-or-Treat. It made for kind of a late night. She was a little cranky and there were a few tears. It was a nice night, but not as cool as we had hoped. Her costume was a little warm, but she looked darling! When we started trick-or-treating, she just stared at everyone and everything. It was already dark out and a little hard to see. She was a little timid at first, not sure what to make of it all, but did better once we had been there for a while. All was well except for at one trunk someone had on a mask and it made her cry. Oops!

We decided to give trick-or-treating another try. Chad and I took Emily downtown to trick-or-treat on Wednesday night. Many of the businesses have someone sitting outside to hand out candy to the kids. It was still daylight and Emily was in a great mood! She still took a little while to warm up to the fact that there were odd looking people all around us. But before long she was flashing her smile at everyone. She really enjoyed herself. It was cute to see her so excited. It was also nice to have Chad there to help out. It was pretty cool weather and Emily was all snuggled up in her warm costume. It was perfect. Success! Happy Halloween!
