Trick-or-Treat

Well, I think we have another year before Gianna really gets into Halloween. This year she was less interested in dressing up and trick-or-treating and more interested in the people coming to the door and our candy were were handing out. Before we left she was loving going through our box of candy and moving it from the box to a bowl she was playing with. Seeing this, I thought she was going to love trick or treating and getting her own candy... Wrong! She didn't want the candy people were giving her, she just wanted to run as fast as she could down the sidewalk. Once we got home, she did end up liking the candy in her bag. We tried to get pictures, but didn't really succeed. Gianna was a cat. I made her some ears to attach to her pigtails because I didn't think she would keep a headband on. They worked pretty well at the beginning, but with all the running they kept falling off. She was pretty cute, even if we didn't get a smile (she pretty much hates the camera). Oh, and we had one very cute giraffe too!


This is the best one, and I like it because Gianna is holding Dominic's hand.

This is when I gave Gianna the first box of candy I could find to try to get her to sit still so we could get the candy. There is a sequence of pictures where Dominic discovers the box, grabs the box, Gianna realizes it, yells at him, and then pulls the box away. It's really funny, but there are too many to put them all up here. Here are a few of the key pics to give you an idea of what took place.

Oh, and right after this, I realized I gave her Dots, the worst candy I could have, said aloud to my husband "what did I just give her?" I then quickly subbed them for something else.

Here are some more pictures from the night...
