Trick or Treat !!

Well Jonathans first Halloween and Addisons first trick or treat was a big hit and something we must do again, we may not even wait til next year. I mean they are cute enough to get candy from strangers any day of the year! We started out the day by putting on our costumes early and visiting all of our people. We surprised Nana at work and the kids went from cubical to cubical collecting handfuls of candy from their new best friends. Nana seemed to beam as she showed off her grand kids to her co-workers but because I left the camera in the truck we missed the Kodak moment.

Next we went to go see Papa and Linda at their house. The kids got to play with the cats and meet Amy, Papas parrot that I grew up with and have a close bond with. After posing for lots of pictures, we moved on down the street to share the love with Grandma. Grandma was very surprised when she got home from work and we were running around her front yard waiting for her. She said we made her day even though the kids ended up tearing up her living room and having a couple of temper tantrums, I'm sure leaving her ears ringing.

After napping in the car, a much needed one I might add, we got to Uncles house and posed for a family picture before we hit the streets for some free candy!

The first couple of houses were ruff, but after that things started to pick up. Jonathan seemed to get it very quickly and had a look on his face of "why haven't we done this before", Addison on the other hand wanted nothing to do with it for the first half hour or so. With tomatoes in the candy bucket (as a joke) at one of the first houses, Addison chose wisely, and munched on that tomato while lounging in the stroller. Seriously. After her snack she seemed to feel better and joined in the fun.

The rest of the night went smoothly. Jonathan trick or treated til he dropped and we all ended up riding back to the house in Aunt Jens Truck.

All in all the whole day was so fun and it was great to start our own traditions.
