halloween 2011

Greta had a busy Halloween this year. We started our day with a Halloween party at our friend, Jennifer, and her son, Noah's house. There were lots of moms and kids from our ECFE class there and all the kids had a great time. I wish I would have taken a picture of all the food. Jennifer had made these cute mummy little weiners (wrapped in a crescent roll) and spooky deviled eggs, along with tons of other food. It was a fun party!

All the moms and kids.

After the party, we zipped over to a local photographer's studio who was taking pictures of kids in their Halloween costumes. We were in the car for about 30 minutes and Greta fell asleep pretty much immediately after we got in the car from the party. When we got to the photographer's studio she was a little groggy and not in the best mood for photos. This is about the best we got from her.

After the photos, we drove down to Edina where we had to run a couple errands. We were in an office building for one errand and I tried to get a couple pictures of Greta in front of this cute Halloween backdrop but she wasn't having any of it.

Happier once we were outside.

I love her little stinger tushie.

From Edina, we went to the Mall of America to meet my friend Ari and her daughter, Cora.

After Chad got off work he took the lightrail down to the MOA and met us there so we could take part in the trick-or-treating festivities at the mall. Greta didn't know what to think about these people trying to put candy in her "purse".

Trick-or-treating like a big girl.

She only wanted her baby in her "purse".

You can see her baby in her bag here. She's telling Sofie to "sit" and giving her the hand signal.

Sofie's checking out what Greta has in her bag.

We stopped by a few neighbors' houses and then she was pretty much done for the night.

The best picture I could get of the two kids on Halloween.

It was a really busy but fun day. It's amazing to think how much Greta changed from last Halloween in these pictures.

I'm excited to see what next year will bring, especially with a new little one too!

Just had to add this picture of Chad dressed up at work this year for Halloween!
