Celebrating Halloween

DOWNTOWN TRICK OR TREAT

Elsie had a great time celebrating her first Halloween.  The Friday before Halloween we had a downtown trick or treat where businesses on Main Street passed out candy.  It is normally SUPER busy but this year it was a little chilly and I thought it was pretty quiet.  We didn't really take any candy but we did get a cheese stick and a free photo from the local photography shop.  We walked around with our friends and had a great time participating in this tradition in the community.  

Ha Ha None of the kiddos look too thrilled in this pic! 

Beggar's Night Trick or Treating-Passing out Candy

We decided not to go trick or treating during the community wide trick or treat because Elsie really didn't need any candy so we hung out at home instead and passed out candy.  Elsie loved watching the kids out the door run around from house to house.  She was fascinated by them all.  It was really fun to watch her get so excited.  We also let her play with the candy a little bit and she would take each piece out one after one.  She ended up chewing on one and got her first little taste of chocolate. 

Elsie's 2012 Halloween Costume-Our Little Elsie Flower

Since we didn't go trick or treating I wanted to get some pictures of her in her costume.  I think she enjoyed wearing it :)
