Halloween!!!

This was Christopher's first Halloween that he went trick or treating. I wasn't sure how he was going to do, if he would even want to wear his costume, if he would be too scared to go out when he saw decorations, if he would be able to keep up with other kids... any of it :)

It was perfect.

He LOVED his costume...

He was a little unsure about it when we were putting it on. So I showed him his pirate book (in his hand) and that we was dressing like a pirate. He finally got it and just got more and more into character as we moved on.

We headed over the Chris and Kerri's house for the festivities. We enjoyed dinner and then we went out with all the kids. 5 kids in all I think.

Decorations...

The kids loved handing out candy

I love the smile on Christopher's face in this one

Then outside for a group picture

or not

I think this was the best one I got.

Then we were off. We were trick or treating in Spreckles. All of the new houses have SOOO many steps to the front door. Fine for Christopher to get up, but he had trouble coming down without a rail.

So one of us would help or one of the older kids took him. He loved it.

He had so much fun. I think he was dragging his pumpkin by the end. Now at home, he still has it out. If he wants a piece of candy, he grabs his pumpkin and comes and asks for candy. Like it's the only way he gets candy now, if it's in the pumpkin. Very cute...
