Wonder Bread and A Bee

For Carolina Grace's 1st Halloween we dressed her up as Wonder Bread and Ella Rose was a BEE! We started the evening by going to our Church's Fall Festival to help out with our Sunday School Class' Cake Walk. Our church has a Fall Festival every year for children all over our area. It's a great outreach as well as a great Family event too, and this year 450 children participated.

After the Fall Festival we came back home and took Ella Rose trick or treating for the first time. She had a blast and her parents I think had even a better time. I used to have a ball trick or treating when I was a kid but this was even so much more fun watching my own child having so much fun. We put Carolina Grace in the stroller and she went right along with us smiling at everyone who came up to take a peek at her.

So Carolina Grace, what are you supposed to be?

Priceless

All Smiles

Ella Rose couldn't say Trick or Treat so she would say HELLO and Bye Bye

Ella Rose got a kick out of this Dog with Angel Wings

and so did Daddy

Ella Rose was so excited that all she had to do was open her bag up and candy would be dropped in...although she has never had a piece of candy so she didn't really know what it was

What FUN and it wasn't too cold either

Ella Rose took great pride in holding her own bag...we would dump the candy into a bigger bag but she never parted with her small Halloween bag

Are we done yet?

Okay Mom we've been taking pictures now for 3 hours

What do you mean we're finished?

I've had about as much fun as I can stand! Get me out of this costume!

So by the end of the evening we had a crying bee because Ella Rose wanted to go back out but she never one time even wanted to open up any of the candy. It's all sitting on the kitcher counter and she still hasn't acted one bit interested. It's clear that she doesn't quite understand what candy is. So Ian and I have been swiping some of the candy as we pass by it. I know it's terrible but maybe next Halloween we'll introduce Ella Rose to chocolate.
