Trick or Treat

Even though she doesn't understand what it's all about, I think Grace really enjoyed her first Halloween.

Great Aunt MaryAnne, Auntie Murr and I took Grace to the nursing home where Zilla works in the afternoon. The residents loved seeing our little duckie and Zilla had fun showing her off.

We stopped in to see Great Gramma on our way back home and hung out there until Grace started to get tired and cranky. She had a little snooze in the car on our way home, but refused to nap back at the house. She was in good spirits so after supper I decided to take her trick-or-treating in Aunt MaryAnne's neighborhood. It's a very close-knit community and we just went to a handful of houses - close friends of MaryAnne's and people that knew Nanny. They loved seeing Grace in her costume and gave her treats for her to share with Mommy and Daddy.

I'm really glad we went. Grace loved it, I had fun, and MaryAnne did too. We got home around 8:00 (Grace is usually in bed by 7:00) and Grace had her bottle and fell asleep within minutes of B laying her in her crib. She must have been tuckered out because she slept until 8:15!

Overall, a wonderful first Halloween for our little chubber!
