"Trick or Treat"

This year, Carli was excited about Halloween.  She started learning all about it in preschool earlier in the month.  Everything was "spooky" to her and she loved it.

Joe began putting out his Halloween decorations and Carli became fascinated with the "scary man" in the basement.  It was actually "the Butler" that our neighbors gave Joe when they tired of him.  Carli wanted to go see him every day, but when Joe would take her down, Carli would begin to scream.  So...the Butler stayed in the basement this year.  (I was glad, because I hate him!)

The days leading up to Halloween we began to teach Carli to say "trick or treat".  She already understood that she would get candy.  We also told her she would be a ghost.  It didn't take long for her to catch on.

After dinner on Halloween, we got Carli dressed in her costume.  First thing she said, "I'm a princess."  She loved her costume!  We were off to get candy.  After going to a couple of neighbors, we went to visit all family.  Carli did a good job saying, "tick or teat," to most of them.  She loved putting her costume on and off (the easiest way to get her in the carseat) and getting candy.

It was a great Halloween!
