Halloween

Last weekend was a busy one at the Bailey house! On Saturday we attended a wedding/house warming party for our friends Thomas and Charissa who were celebrating their Friday nuptials at home with a game watching party and nacho bar. This was our first visit to their new house and we enjoyed getting the official tour. Reese was in love with Charissa and hardly left her alone. She spent most of the party climbing on Charissa or following her around the house. Paige slept through most of the activities and was admired in her "party" dress.

Sunday was Halloween and we began our celebrations by participating in a Halloween/Birthday/Costume party at Caroline and Steven's house (Caroline's birthday is on Halloween!). Reese enjoyed her first-ever lollipop and even convinced Reed to get into his Halloween costume--a feat his mom and dad had been struggling with.

After dinner, we headed home and got ready for trick-or-treating. Reese was accompanied by Daddy, Aunt Kim, and Uncle Ehren as she made her way up and down our street collecting goodies. When we asked her "Reese, what do you say after you knock on people's doors?" she quickly replied, "Thank you for the candy." Good manners, but not what we were going for. Mommy stayed home with Paige and passed out candy. We didn't have many trick-or-treaters this year, and once Reese was home and getting ready for bed, we decided to turn off our light early. (Leaving us with WAY too much candy at home for Mommy to snack on this week.)

Each day this week I've let Reese pick one of her Halloween candies as part of her afternoon snack--she has decided that lollipops are the best.
