Trick or Treat!


These were so cute I had to post two photos! So this was it, Mia's first real Halloween... At least the first Halloween where she understood what was going on around her. We thought that since she would be cognizant of the festivities that she would enjoy things more. Wow, did we underestimate the joy she found in trick or treating!! She was a midget on a mission. She was so excited to have her group of friends together that she could hardly wait to get rolling. We had our annual Halloween gathering for the neighborhood, and all the kids went out together, escorted by the Dad's of course. After we all came back to the house to enjoy some more food and drinks, Mia decided she had to go again! So off we went. Finally, after an hour and a half of trick or treating, Daddy had to pull the plug on the venture and convince Mia that it was time to head home... As you can see, the planned Ariel costume never made onto her little body, as she refused to put it on. In it's place came Momma's creative pumpkin outfit! As Mia would say, we had Great Fun!


Sailing the Seven Seas!

Mia has entered her 'imagination' phase! It's so fun to see what new adventures she creates each day... Last night she pulled all the blankets out of a basket and proceeded to climb in and let us know she was sailing the seven seas! She then made Daddy carry the basket all over the house for her sailing adventure. She even had baby Donald (Donald Duck Jr.) join her for a cruise... So sweet!
