Trick or Treat

We had a very fun Halloween this year. Addison is catching on to more of the concept so it's always fun to watch her enjoy herself. There were a few events leading up to the actual holiday so I'll blog in pictures to document our fun...

The fun started off with our ward's trunk-or-treat Saturday night. Here we are with Grandpa Fields and surrounded by kids and chaos everywhere.

Here is Daddy at the trunk-or-treat with his cute little pirate and monkey.

Next up...pumpkin carving time! Here are our final masterpieces. Mommy's is on the left, Addison's is the head to Daddy's pumpkin - which is the body. It was Daddy's cool idea and it turned out pretty good!

Here are Daddy and Addison showing off our creations. She wasn't interested in touching the "guts" of the pumpkin but she did do a few careful scoops with the spoon.

Here is Addison enjoying a little pre-Halloween dinner thanks to Sonic. One of the perks of living just down the street from them - you get to run down and get a free hot dog and soda! :D Our new tradition!

Here's the cute little smiley boy in his first Halloween outfit. I love his smile!

And here he is again, this time donning his actual Halloween costume. Such a cute little monkey.

Mommy with her pirate and her monkey. We promised Grandma Fields we'd swing by and trick-or-treat and show off the kids. We had to stop and take a photo shoot while we were there.

We went trick-or-treating with our good friends Garrett and Brady. It's always more fun to go with friends. Here are the Pirate (Addison) Buzz Lightyear (Garrett) and Anakin Skywalker (Brady).

A little fuzzy but still such a cute picture. Daddy and Addison walking down to the first house. She was a bit shy in saying "Trick-or-Treat" but luckily we were there to help her. She loved every minute of it. She ran from one house to the next once she caught on to the process. Surprisingly she was done after only visiting half of the neighborhood. What kid doesn't want more candy?

All in all, it was a great night of fun! It's true that holidays are more fun with kids. Especially when they get old enough to understand what is going on. Addison came home with lots of loot and surprisingly seems to forget it exists. She hasn't really asked to eat much of it since that night. No worries, Mommy will be happy to help her polish off all the loot. :D

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
