Halloween 2011

We had so much fun this Halloween. It's hard to say if Reese understood what was going on but she definitely enjoyed herself. Grandma and Grandpa hang up lots of decorations and amid the skeletons and pumpkins there were lots of black cats so Reese toddled around the house pointing and "meow-ing". A highlight of this Halloween season was getting to help Grandpa carve the pumpkin. Reese loved scooping out the "guts" and kept shouting "more, more!"
We have had Reese's costume for weeks. Grandma spotted it in a store in late August and we have been anxiously waiting the day when she could wear it . On Saturday morning when I was dressing her, she pointed at it and mooed so, we had a cow walking around the house for the entire holiday weekend.


When we finally went trick-or-treating, it took her a minute to catch on. She would ring the doorbell and then walk away before she could get her candy! By the 5th or 6th house she started to get the hang of it and got really giddy when people gave her handfuls of treats. It will probably be at least another year before she actually finds out what candy is so, in the meantime, Mike and I would like to thank all the Rogers Park neighbors for the delicious treats!

Happy Halloween!
