Tricks, Treats and Friends on Halloween

Our Halloween was a pretty relaxed and comfortable day. The morning and afternoon was spent running some important errands and for Abby, the afternoon was spent napping before fun time.


Once she was up from her nap, Abby was ready to get dressed for Halloween. It was the first time we have dressed her in a costume and thought it would be fitting to have her dress as a pumpkin. She looked adorable!

We knew Abby was still too young for Trick Or Treating, but luckily her friend Harrison and our friends Byron and Erika were having a Halloween Party and we were invited! We had a wonderful time and Abby seemed to be having a fun time hanging out with Harrison and well, the balloons. Erika did an amazing job! She made the cake herself and the treats and food were amazing… all Halloween themed. Ghost Toast, Graveyard 6 layer dip, and much much more.

After the party we stopped by Grandma Zoe’s house and enjoyed some chili and the rest of the Halloween evening. It was a wonderful night and Abby had a blast. I know we cant wait until next year when Abby is a little bit older and might understand it a bit more!
