Trick-or-Treat

The Embassy's Community Liaison Office threw a Halloween party last night for the children. We had such a blast watching Addie. She got all dressed up in her Minnie Mouse costume and couldn't stop staring at all the other kids in their costumes. The pizza party was thrown in a room decorated with spooky Halloween decor, scary music and a strobe light! She was terrified so we decided to eat our pizza outside. Addie really enjoyed the costume parade where she got to hold her pumpkin bag and walk with the other kids. She lost her footing numerous times because she couldn't take her eyes off the other kids. The big hit of the night was trick-or-treating. When the first piece of candy hit her bag it all clicked and she was so excited. Every house we went to she said "please" and "thank you". We tried to teach her trick-or-treat but it didn't fly. Addie held on to her ever growing stash of candy with a death grip and could say "candy" by the end of the night. Justin and I got so much joy watching how happy she was. The whole night was so fun. Addie had her first chocolate bar on the ride home and then proceeded to fall asleep in her car seat. It was a big evening for our little girl.
