Trick Or Treat Is Serious Business

Briana looks like she is a prize fighter being prepped for the next round in the above picture, doesn't she? It represents a quick water and "put on jacket" break.

Briana was accompanied on Halloween by mommy, daddy and the "grandparent posse". Both sets of grandparents came to see Briana collect loot this year. Bri started the night off in her wagon, but you know that didn't last long. She wanted to walk. Due to the chill, she had to wear sweatpants from the start and eventually had to put on a jacket. We hit the first house and I told her to say "Trick or Treat". Well, she decided to just say "Treat" and continued to say "Treat" at every other house we visited. Hey, this is a girl that knows what she wants. She would get her candy, say "Thank you" and then move on to the next house like a shot. I was literally running behind her. She had so much fun. I am waiting to hear her ask tonight, "So what time are we heading out again?" Thank goodness Halloween comes once a year. This child wore me out. And if you think I was tired - you should have seen the grandparents. ;)

Here is the night in pictures...

Heading out in the wagon.

I got my basket and my flashlight - I'm ready.

"Treat"

Just making sure you put enough in there.

Ringing the doorbell isn't enough. We must knock too.

I LOVE Halloween!

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays, but having Briana here makes it so much more magical - and fun.
