Happy Halloween

Halloween was a blast this year. Savannah really got into it and enjoyed it, even though she is a little bit of a wimp. The day started with Marcy coming over and giving Savannah a HUGE bag of treats. Just what Savannah needed. Thanks Marcy, I will send it with her when she stays at your house.Later in the day, we got ready and headed out on the town. We made a special stop at Elyse's house. We love stopping by and talking with Elyse. It had been a while since we had visited Elyse.
That night we went trick or treating to a few houses around the neighborhood. Savannah did a good job walking up to the door and showing the neighbors her bag until we came upon one particular house. After she knocked on the door a lady brought out her candy bowl. It was not just a bowl though, it was one of the ones that had a hand in it and when you reached for the candy it comes down adn grabs your hand. Even though Savannah had seen these in the stores and was fine of them, she was not a big fan of it and did not think it was funny at all. After that she was a bit scared and hesitant to walk up the people's houses.
Savannah's favorite part I think was trying to grab as much candy as possible with one hand and then putting in her bag and leaving. After every house she wanted to stop and eat candy first before moving on. She did not understand that the candy would still be there at the end of the night. Later in the evening, we met up with our friends, Lynn, Cary, and of course, who could forget McKinley. McKinley was adorable in his mailman outfit. Savannah and McKinley had a wonderful night. They were laughing and giggling at everything. We always have fun when we hang out with the Vernon's.

Before heading to bed that night, we let Savannah eat a few pieces of candy. Here she is in her jammies and for some reason she had to wear her sunglasses. Of course, they are upside down because she had to put them on herself, "me do, me do it." After all our adventures for the day, it was the easiest night to put Savannah to bed.
