Halloween in December

Now that it's December, cold, snowy, and dangerously close to Christmas, I figured I really should wrap up the fall photos . . . better late than never.

Little Miss . . . the fairy

looking out the door and calling, "Kids? Kids!" in an effort to beckon more children to our home

I wasn't sure what Little Miss would think about the trick-or-treat process as costume clad children came to our door. When she reached into our candy bowl, grabbed a piece and handed it to our first little trick-or-treater I was a proud mama thinking, "that's my sweet girl". It was in the next few seconds when I watched her hold tight to that candy and nearly wrestle said trick-or-treater to the ground to get that candy back that I realized she didn't quite get it after all! It was quite comical and she did get the hang of it for the next kiddos.
