Happy Halloween!

We had a fabulous Halloween this year...Addison was old enough to go trick-or-treating (with a little help of course). Addison was a little princess fairy this year. We got her costume at CrackerBarrel (which really had some cute ones this year for girls). Her pink glitter shoes (her new favorite shoes) are from target and were a birthday gift from Mimi and Papa. She even kept the headband on for most of the evening! And the wings stayed on as well (I thought she would be tugging at them all night - but she didn't seem to mind at all).

We had some friends over for dinner before we ventured out into the neighborhood (Stanley street, aka Halloween street), but decided to head out just before it started to get dark (around 6:00). Addison rode in her car most of the time between houses. She was usually very independent in wanting to walk all by herself up to the houses. Jonathan and I took turns going with her, but when we got to the door (or when the homeowners were sitting on the porch), she wanted to do it and kept saying "me do it!" But once she got up to the house, she wanted to sit on the porch with the homeowners and several times she tried to walk in the front door! Haha!

After we snagged her before going in, and after a little coaxing on what to do, she would hold her bag open for candy, or reach into the bucket to take one piece. Sometimes she said "thank you," but it was off and on. She wanted to hold her bag of candy the whole time and did lots of walking. Towards the end, she just wanted to ride in her car and drink water from her sippy cup.

Here she is holding daddy's hand...which was pretty rare for little miss independent.

After it got dark, the ghostbuster car came around the neighborhood. It looks SO much like the one from the movie, so we had to take a picture!

A few days earlier, we went to a Halloween party at Dr. Apfel's house. Addison was getting dance lessons from Darla (aka Sumo Wrestler). She was really having a good time dancing around...we laughed a long time at them!

She was pooped out from all the dancing...
