Happy Halloween!!

Maddie LOVES Halloween!
Dress up is her most beloved activity so combine that with candy and it's heaven!!



She was Minnie Mouse!

This year she went up to the doors all by herself...


She did a great job saying, "Trick-or-treat" and "Thank-You", and then she would run back to us and say, "I did it!"



Halfway through the night, we taught her to say, "Happy Halloween!"
At this house, they had fun talking to her and when she ended with Happy Halloween, they laughed and said, "Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas!" 

She then told the next few houses, Merry Christmas!  LOL!

For those of us trick-or-treating ourselves, we left candy out in a bowl for trick-or-treaters to help themselves.
Daddy taught her which candies to select in a situation like this...chocolate trumps all others, of course!

We had a great time this year. 
The weather was gorgeous and the neighborhood was bustling with activity!

Another year in the books!

"Happy Halloween, Merry Christmas!"
