Holidays just get better and better as the kids get older and we get to experience them for the "first time" through their eyes. We didn't really know how Lill would take to Halloween or if she'd really understand what was going on so leading up to it we often asked her what she'd like to dress up as and gave her examples. It seemed to change daily so once the answer remained unchanged for a number of days in a row, we decided we had a winner. "Elsa", she said. A trip to Costco later and we had ourselves our very own Elsa. She was so proud to put on her dress and prance around the house. As the day got even closer, she kept asking what mommy and daddy (and mommy and daddy's work...ok, so maybe she still doesn't TOTALLY get it!) were going to be for Halloween. My mommy guilt finally built up enough that her and I headed to the costume store the day of to pick something out.
"Ty Ty" (a doggie) was her pick and so my costume was born!
That night we headed over to our annual Taylor family Halloween party. After some delicious food, playing with the cousins and the annual (growing) family picture, we headed home in the wagon and hit up some houses on the way home. Lill took to the trick-or-treating thing more than we expected so when she asked for "one more", we happily obliged. OK, so she got "one more" a few times...but it was just too hard to pass up! The cooler temps and misting rain eventually pushed us inside and we enjoyed handing out candy to the kids coming by until Lill insisted it was her bedtime. The fun-filled day sure wore her out!
