Happy Halloween (a day late)

So, this year was Charlotte's first 'real' Halloween. Last year she wasn't even walking and we were out of town (though she did go to dinner as a Lady Bug).

We tried (all week) to get her to say, "Trick or treat," but she just wasn't having it. We trekked up and down our street, despite the rain. By house number 3 she was a pro and held her bucket up to everyone, though most people caved and let her take candy by the handfuls (ugh!). She fell a couple times walking up and down the curb but that surely didn't crush her spirit. She thought it was great and was quite upset when she realized we were walking back up the steps to our house!

BTW - she was supposed to be a BUNNY ballerina. The bunny ears barely lasted 3 minutes.

This photo cracks me up - she was amazed at my reflection and the flash on the fireplace doors. Didn't want to look at Mommy and say, "Cheese!" More photos here.
