Halloween Activities

Ella's first Halloween was filled with a lot of activities.  She experienced costumes, leaves, pumpkins, pumpkin carving, a couple of parties and gatherings.  She was our little pumpkin this year. She had two different pumpkin costumes thanks to Aunt Colleen giving her one that cousin Cici had outgrown.  She rocked her costumes at Kindermusik class, our friend's Halloween party where we were a Peanut's tribute (Linus, Sally and the Great Pumpkin), trick or treat night and a photo shoot in the front yard.

Ella loves her little friends.

Grandpa David helped us carve our pumpkins this year.

Trick or Treating was cold and rainy (3rd year in a row we've had less than nice weather).  We still had a decent amount of kids (~150).  Ella partied with us in the garage as we handed out candy until her bedtime.  All of the older kids thought she was adorable.  Next year we will get to take her to a few houses.  Due to the rain and cold, she didn't get to go to any houses this year.

Trick or Treat - 1st Halloween

Ella also received some holiday cards.  I documented her opening and enjoying the cards. I did keep her eating of the cards to a minimum.

A card from Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Turner in Michigan.

How does the card come out...I bet I can chew my way to the card...

A gift card!!!!

Mmmm, a card from Grandma and Grandpa Andrulonis...

The first Halloween card is almost as delicious as the envelope!

It was a busy fall for us. Nate and I did get to go to one football game and tailgate, ND vs Pitt at Pitt.  It was a great time with friends, and it would have been better had ND won.

Cold, but happy
