Halloween

Eliana really got into the spirit of her mama's favorite holiday this year. While I was a bit worried at first about her being able to hang in her costume (I think it sorta freaked her our initially), she got used to it. She was mildly overwhelmed by the loud festivities in the school gym where she joined mom and dad for a Halloween parade. I love the little school mascot she is; all the kids and teachers adore having her around.

Then it was off to Nici's for soup and our first try at trick-or-treating. Elie was hilarious. Once she mastered holding her basket and walking simultaneously, she was off. She would then go up to the door and say, "hiiiiiiii!" The only problem was, she didn't want to stop at the door. If she had it her way, she would just go right on into the various homes. Jeff and I got a big hoot out of her weird interactions with the neighborhood peeps.

Then it was home by eight for bedtime. All in all a perfect holiday for this tuckered out little family.
