Halloween 2011

Halloween has never been a favorite of mine, I blame my mother, not a favorite of hers either (well Mom, it's true...). This year was really fun though. Haley could not have been more excited for her costume which added to the fun. We did the church "Trunk or Treat" on Saturday afternoon followed by the Zollinger annual Harvest Party and fun was had all around.

Haley thinks it's the funniest thing to have an "Elphaba Daddy!"

 Cheeeeeese

I wasn't really sure I cared about doing actual Trick or Treating but seeing how much fun Haley had at the Trunk or Treat we made a go of it.    They BOTH loved it.  Highlights from the night, after a lady gave Haley some M&Ms she said, "do you like M&Ms?" to which the reply was of course yes. Then as the lady's handing Audrey her candy and Haley reaches into her bowl and in the sweetest voice she can muster says, "I like Smarties too."  At one of the houses the person was closing the door from other kids and Haley is on her way up the walkway and she yells, "don't close the door, we're almost there!"  Audrey had a blast.  When each door would close she would run as fast as she could back down the walkway laughing all the way, Heidi or I would have to run to catch her because her body was going much faster than her legs could sustain (she did fall at one point, too).

 Here you can see Audrey can't contain herself.
