halloween fun

Alicia helped daddy on Halloween afternoon build a big piles of leaves to jump and play in! She was funny about playing in the leaves, as she didn't really jump and throw 'em much until the end. She was more interested in picking out individual leaves and sticks, rather than the "whole" ambiance of running through a pile of leaves. Oh well, it's about the journey of it, right and not the process.

So, this year we let Alicia choose what she wanted to wear treat-o-treating... At first, she chose Elmo, then she wanted to be Princess Ali (thankfully Alicia could still fit into the flower girl dress from Aunt Ann and Uncle Todd's wedding earlier this summer :) She was pretty cute whatever she wore, so it didn't matter, and the weather was nice enough that she could wear either outfit.

Earlier in the week, Alicia wore her Elmo costume for at daycare. Her other good friends, Carl was Tigger, and Lucas was the Scarecrow! What great costumes by all!

Back to Halloween night, Alicia's favorite candy choice for the night was the KitKat! If she had a choice to pick a candy from the bowl, about 3 out of the 5 times, it was a KitKat! And to make her night even better, the last stop of trick-o-treating was Uncle Tony's house, where he had an entire bowl full of just KitKats! She was excited. Earlier in the evening, we barely got through Grandpa and Grandma's house before she was digging into her candy. So we had to divert her and throw some cereal in her candy bag so she'd eat that instead all of the chocolate. yummo... She did such a nice job telling the people "triotreat" and "thank you" everyone thought she was fitting her costume well being a princess :)
