Happy Halloween!

So, this is Arianna's second Halloween. The first time she dressed as a chili pepper and slept through most of the time. This time, she was a giraffe and walked by herself (about 40% of the time) and was able to hold her pumpkin. We tried to take the pumpkin to help her carry and she would not let go. So, she carried her pumpkin most of the time.

This time she went trick or treating with her cousin Glenn. He was a very cute crab! He was able to say trick or treat, and thank you!


In this picture I was trying to help her with her pumpkin...no, mommy I can do it!


Here we were almost done after circling back from a 2-block distance. They were happy because their pupmkins (and some in their tummies) had yummy chocolate :)


When we got home we took her costume off, but she would not let go of the pumpkin. I think that was the part she liked the most. I also noticed that she gave huge smiles to the people that gave her the two favorite chocolates: Hershey's bar and M&M the brown bag!


Mike was showing Arianna's pumpkin. She had quite a feast for 2 blocks! Can you see her little hand as well?
And this picture was taken the next day after Halloween (She ate some chocolate, but we are making sure she does not eat a lot!)

It looks like everyone had a good time. The weather seemed good, too. Did she manage to keep the giraffe on her head the whole time?

Erika (for Arianna :) said...

Nope. Sometimes it looked like she was having a second head around the neck! The head was quite heavy for a costume, but it looked really nice when she had the head on top :)
(The costume was a tad big for her, she is wearing 18 months and the costume was 2T - the next size) that did not help with the head that kept falling...
