Happy Halloween!
Posted By pamelamyers on 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!

Mark and Pam,
It sounds like a great Halloween. She looks absolutely adorable in her elmos costume. That was the perfect costume for her. We had a good halloween too; we had about 70-80 kids — so cute. Joey had a good time here; he was so excited, he just kept running up and down each driveway before he went in the house and said trick or treat. I asked each kid to tell me what they were before they got their candy at my house (by the way, some beautiful expensive looking costumes this year) and one little boy had no idea what he was. We said are you Clifford–the dog–and he went and asked his mother. Funny. It was so much fun. Sam is so beautiful and getting more beautiful every day–am I a little prejudice, love, mom
Sam, did you get any M and M’s. Those are my favorites. What candy is your favorite?
Sam did get M’s and she loves them! They are her favorite candy, especially the orange ones!
