So we have been Halloweening at our house for more than a
month (phew…it is a long time!) and this is the official Halloween post.
It has been a bit colder here in DC than other weeks so we
weren’t sure what we wanted to do with Lucky. However, Lady really worked hard
on his costume and wanted to “show him off” (not that we are prideful about our
little man or anything…).
We decided to go out with several friends and their families—it
was a blast because they have older kids who enjoy the holiday. Our apartment
complex does a Halloween night and several kids like it here because you can
get more candy for the time you spend out, we all decided to go into the local
community.

It was a good decision. All the kids were able to run up and
down hills and stairs to burn off some calories and we all admired the huge
houses and manicured yards. Lady and I took turns taking Tau’aho up to the
door. I had fun talking to all the people about how cute he is. He was mesmerized
by all the movement and the lights.
The cutest part of the evening was the older people who had
their candy all sat out waiting for trick or treat-ers. One of the old lady’s
came all the way down to the road just to tell us that her light is out, but
she has candy. It was so fun, I tried to take a few more minutes talking with
them—they must wait all week for all the fun little visitors.

So that concludes our Halloween celebrations…now onto
CHRISTMAS! (And for all of you that are worried, we aren’t skipping
Thanksgiving, we just enhance it with a Christmas tree.)
