Halloween

Alyssa had a blast Halloween weekend. On Saturday we decided kind of last minute to go to the mall and trick or treat through the stores. We were told it was going on from 4-6. So we got there at 4:30 and over half the stores were out of candy. We didn't really care because Alyssa doesn't eat candy. Everyone thought she was really cute and she loved that people were putting things in her basket.

We came home and ate dinner then headed back out for the Alton Halloween Parade. You can tell we haven't been to a parade in ages because we didn't take a blanket or chairs. Alyssa was 2 minutes from falling asleep when it started but had a blast watching the floats.

On Halloween I only let her go to 4 houses of people we knew pretty well. She then ran around the front yard while we passed out candy for a little bit then came in for bed.

She did not know why people were giving her things but she LOVED it and spent two days taking the candy out of her basket and putting it back in.

I would say it was a good Halloween.
