Trick or Treat

Tonight was an awesome night! We took Claire 'trick or treating' for the first time. I wasn't sure if she would be too young at not quite three, but thought we would give it a go and try going to a couple houses. 


The first two or three houses, she was kind of shy, and hadn't quite figured out that you needed to wait until the person opened the door before saying 'trick or treat'. She didn't know that you had to hold out your bucket so the person could put some candy in it. But after a few tries she had it down pat. 


It was pretty much the most adorable thing I've ever seen. Hearing her say in her sweet little voice, 'trick or treat'. And then, 'thank you' after she was given some candy. She would excitedly run to the next house, not sure if this was too good to be true. 


Denis dressed as a zombie, so Claire referred to him as 'zombie' the whole night instead of daddy. "Come on zombie. Thank you Zombie." Jack rode along in the stroller. Every once in a while we had to empty Claire's bucket of treats into the stroller basket because it was too heavy for her to carry.
