Halloween 2008

Halloween was great with the kids this year. They were both so excited about trick or treating and their costumes. We played trick or treat the whole week before halloween. We would take turns knocking on Mackenzie's bedroom door and one of us would be inside to give out candy. Cameron was Batman and Mackenzie was a puppy dog. Michael teased Cam that since he is Batman everyday of the year he should dress up as Cameron for halloween. Mac really got into the actual trick or treating. Normally she is a little shy and wants to be on my hip when we are away from home, but she was first in line at every door with no thoughts of where I was to get her candy. We had 3 halloween parties to go to and the kids had a blast at all of them. The neighborhood party was first and we had a bonfire and the kids ran around and played then went on a hay ride. For a solid week Mackenzie told anyone who would listen, "I'm going to a halloween party at Ethan's next weekend." Luckily it was as fun as she built it up to be. The kids had such a good time. Everyone dressed up, adults included. Ryan and I were Danny and Sandy. All in all I think we packed as much fun as you could pack into one holiday. It felt a little like Christmas because there was a little bit of a let down for the kids when it was all over. But can't every day pretty much be halloween when you are 4 and you dress up as Batman and eat lollipops everyday anyway.
