Happy Halloween!

| October 31, 2011

Sam had such a wonderful Halloween this year!  We picked an Elmo costume since we thought that was our best chance of getting her to actually wear it.  She has an Elmo hooded bath towel that she loves, so we figured it was sort of the same thing.  She loved her costume. Before we even put in on her she was walking around hugging it!  She also loved getting candy.  Sam wasn’t scared at all.  She walked door to door with us collecting her candy and said Thank You every time (with a little prompting, of course).  Halloween was so great this year.  She loved the decorations, the trick or treat, the costumes.  It is exactly what Mark and I have been waiting for.  I loved taking her door to door and can’t wait to do it again next year when I am sure she will have a definite opinion about her costume.  Here are some pics from her first ever trick or treat.

Here’s Elmo!

I am not sure what she was trying to do here, other than just hamming it up for the camera!

We were headed to my parents’ house pre-trick or treat so they could see her dressed up. She is ready to go!

She decided to sample some of the candy we were planning on giving out after dinner.

Here’s Sam before her costuming, wearing her Halloween orange.

Time for trick or treat!

Can you believe the haul this kid got?  We hit just about every house on our block.  Sam kept handing Mark and I pieces of candy saying, “Open!”  We had to convince her that one or two pieces before bed was quite enough!

She kept looking at us like, “Back off my candy!”  Don’t worry Samantha, it’s all yours!
