Trick or Treat!

The cutest Lion on the block!

First stop, Mimi and Bill's house

The Halloween Parade at school, marching with Auntie Jenny.

Having fun, but holding on tight to Jenny

Taking her marching seriously

We almost cancelled trick or treating because the weather was so cold and rainy, but around 5:45 pm, the clouds parted and the skies cleared.  So we bundled up our babe and headed out in the wagon for her first ever Halloween night.  She didn't quite know what to make of it, but we talked about it for weeks and told stories to her and by the third house, she got the hang of it.  She can't quite get out "trick or treat" but she could roar and that seemed to be charming enough for the neighbors to toss some candy in her bucket.  She even score 3 whoopie pies from her "mimi and bill" next door!  She was one happy kid when we got home.  And in the 10 months that Cadie has been home with us, we have never seen her eat candy.....until tonight!  I can no longer brag that my child "doesn't like sweets!"  Yes, she's just like any other kid.  But I still think she's the cutest Lion ever!

On Friday, Cadie's school had their annual Halloween parade and open house.  Cadie's Auntie Jenny drove up from D.C. to march in the parade with her and "mom and pop" (my parents) were there as well.  Afterwards, we headed out to dinner for pizza.  She loved showing off her classroom and teachers to her Auntie and Grandma too!
