A Happy Halloween

For the past few weeks, I've been anticipating Halloween like a giddy young girl, anxiously awaiting Maddie's first Halloween experience and dressing her as a pumpkin. Her reaction to all the festivities was awesome. She squeaked and smiled and laughed and stared at all the decorations and costumed people. She made friends with several of our neighbors, smiling happily and even held the pumpkin treat bag I got her. Our neighborhood celebrates Halloween quite a bit, complete with a small haunted house, several street parties, BBQs and lots of friendly people sitting outside and chatting.

My sister, Dee, and her husband, Adam, celebrated Halloween with us and we all had a fun night.

Maddie's first Halloween was a smashing success!
