Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!

Of course Poppa and Grandma Carrie's house was a sure hit!
They looked so adorable!
Ciara showed Sadie how it was done!
I think she got the hang of it pretty quick!

"I got more candy mommy!!"

But let's not forget the fun party at school on Halloween! Sadie loved her Halloween dress and kitty ears are always fun- even after Halloween!

Time to run all that sugar off at the park!
Sadie had an awesome time at school and trick-or-treating. They had a big party at school and Sadie got to eat lots of fun stuff that she normally doesn't get! They painted their pumpkins, colored and had a great time. Later we met Aunt Kiki, Uncle Benny and Ciara in in my Dad's neighborhood for some trick-or-treating. This was Sadie's first year and I wasn't sure how she would like it. I was thankful that Ciara was there too, I really feel like she was a great encouragement to Sadie and they seemed to have a lot of fun together. They both looked adorable. Ciara was a sweet angel and Sadie was a tap dancer/ballerina. She wore my first recital costume (thanks mom, for saving it). It was neat to see her in it. Sadie walked the whole time, well until right at the end. I was so happy that she had such a great time! I am excited that the fall season is under way. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas/Hanukkah. I just love the smells and the coziness of the holidays. Adam and I always make hot cocoa and sit outside. I love to drive around and look at Christmas lights (yes, I am a dork). This year I think will be even more fun because we can do gingerbread houses and holiday cookies. I am excited to see her little face light up at all of the excitement of the season! We have been talking about what to get Sadie for both holidays. I asked her what she wanted and she keeps saying "a kitty and a doggy"...I don't think that Santa will be dropping either of those off at our house!! So, I guess we'll have to see what else she might want...time to get creative!

Love the pictures and hearing about Sadie's first Halloween to Trick or Treat and all about her part at school. This is the first time that I felt that tug at my heart that she is growing up and into her own person...I feel happy and sad...sad that it want be long until she will no longer rush to us with open arms crying out, "mama, papa"! Happy though that she is so confident and willing to try new things. I scanned your picture Sarah in the same dance recital costume that Sadie wore and have sent pictures to all my friends who listen and look with real interest when I share our wonderful family with them. I am going to a birthday luncheon today and have printed out pictures to share with my "spring chicken" birthday friends. Thanks so much for taking the time to write and download the pictures...we love them and appreciate you doing this so much. Love to all, mama and papa
