Trick or Treat!

Kenna had a great time on Halloween this year. She went as a giraffe and she was absolutely the cutest!!! (yes, I am biased and not ashamed of it!) Although she didn't quite get the concept of what you do and what you get (the latter part . . . well, Matt and I are not complaining!), she did seem extremely intrigued about why everyone stood outside and walked about. Walking and exploring is what she enjoys most now, especially to get to wander around. She'd walk miles if I let her.

For me, what I don't think impacted her at all was how everyone had costumes on. I think she thought her giraffe costume was like a coat or warm jumper. She didn't notice she had a tail or ears on her hood. Fortunately, seeing kids dressed like various super heroes and scary monsters had no impact. She wasn't even hesitant to touch a woman who had blood trickling from the corner of her mouth (she was a lady vampire) with a pale face. It just didn't seem odd to her.

She carried her pumpkin bucket and walked around all evening until time for bath and bed. Matt's parents were here visiting, and I think they had a wonderful time seeing her and walking with her. The neighbors convened as is our ritual in the drive next door. I spent most of my time with K, not that I minded, but I did miss the gossip and catching up with the neighbors. This is usually the last time we hang out before we all hibernate for winter.

Unfortunately, we didn't get much in the way of photos. I keep thinking I might put her costume on again and just take some anyway to have more. She was so cute!!!
